Today @hannah_beckler and I launch a project over two years in the making exposing how the Eighth Amendment has been gutted for this nation's 1.2 million prisoners. Of the nearly 1,500 cases we analyzed, we found that prisoners won less than 1% of the time.businessinsider.com/eighth-amendme…
Our team of reporters & researchers read tens of thousands of pages of court documents; obtained hundreds of pages of internal corrections records; and interviewed over 170 people.
In the coming days we'll be publishing stories about our findings. We hope you give them a read.

Joe Biden said that Tara Reade's complaint could only be at the National Archives, at what was then called the Office of Fair Employment Practices. But, a National Archives spokesperson told me that they do not hold records from that office.
Instead, a Senate Historical Office staffer said the Fair Employment Practices records are governed by a Senate resolution mandating that "records containing personal privacy, information closed by statute, and records of executive nomination are closed for 50 years."
