Prisons in New York state have used an opaque, vaguely defined process to ban hundreds of books and other texts, according to documents MuckRock obtained through open records requests. Between February and July last year, about 1,800 books, magazines and newspapers were mailed to people incarcerated in New York’s 44 prisons. The reviewing committees there blocked portions of more than 300 texts, including newspaper articles, academic texts and legal publications.

In January 2023, the mayor of the village of Chester, in Orange County, received an anonymous letter from a village police officer about the police chief. The letter said that, starting in 2020, Chief Timothy McGuire, then a sergeant in the department, repeatedly met a woman he was in a sexual relationship with at the police station. McGuire would brag about his affair, the letter alleged — and he would recruit his police underlings to help him hide it.

Really impressive piece by @michigandaily's investigative team, including: - the FBI investigation into alleged bribery in local govt - a convicted felon (with three different last names?) making local campaign donations - lots and lots of public records https://t.co/X0tpWGQAe7
Disappointing to see this at IRW, an institution that previously supported reporting by me and by other interns/staff as they reported on these very issues in workplaces across the country:
Wesley Lowery exits Investigative Reporting Workshop and American University following student complaints: https://t.co/KKxlh7fHdK
Also, interesting to see that @NLebrecht's Slipped Disc hasn't covered this new article at all...
Important, powerful reporting from @riymisr about something that has been rumored for many, many years: https://t.co/HWYbaExYSJ
