John Jay College's Center on Media, Crime and Justice is accepting applications for a second round of paid fellowships to learn more about the impact of bail and poverty on incarceration rates.
From The Crime Report: "Few Americans are aware that prisons and jails confine thousands of people whose main offense is that they are too poor. Confronted with an accumulation of fees and fines associated with both felony and non-felony convictions as well as unpaid tickets and other civil penalties, they wind up behind bars in what amounts to a 21st century version of debtors’ prisons."
The fellowship will cover travel, hotel and related expenses for attending workshops in New York City scheduled for Sept. 26-27. At least 15 (but no more than 20) U.S.-based reporters will be selected, based on project pitches related to the theme of "cash register justice". Applications will be accepted through July 19.
