On a recent morning, thick fog lingered over the hills and hollows of Ozark County, Missouri, limiting the view of Lick Creek. It and other waterways raged out of their banks in overnight flash flooding, only to recede with debris strewn about. County commissioners huddled inside the courthouse, one block from a muddy rodeo ring, discussing bridge inspections and the path forward. Some washed-out areas were only accessible by four-wheel drive.

The St. Louis City Justice Center was supposed to make things better. Forty-five people in custody have died since the high-security facility opened in 2002 through February of this year, including 29 who were pronounced dead after being transported to area hospitals, according to public records. A federal lawsuit against the city over jail conditions describes officers using excessive force, chemical agents and water shut-offs to control those in custody. There have been multiple riots.

ST. LOUIS — For generations, the U.S. military leaned heavily on a reach of Goodfellow Boulevard to produce ammunition for troops fighting in Europe, Korea and Vietnam. Today, that’s mainly seen in vacant buildings and fenced-in lots owned by the federal government. The only military activity left is at the Maj. Gen. Leif J. Sverdrup U.S. Army Reserve Center, where thousands of “citizen soldiers” have trained on weekends since the 1970s.
