Search ArticlesHow to Prepare for a Release Date From Prison
“Sending Kites” is a monthly column from The Marshall Project that explores challenges faced by people with incarcerated loved ones and by people in jails and prisons. Check our previous columns. For many people in prison, the countdown to release starts on day one. Some circle the date on a mental calendar years before release.

As a transgender woman, Channel Ferro Badell has spent her life fleeing discrimination, trafficking and abuse — first in Uruguay, where she was born, then in Argentina, where she is a citizen.

When Incarcerated People Die, Prisons Trivialize Their Lives
On July 25, I attended a memorial service for my friend Jacob Harper-Leonard. He had died almost four months earlier. Jacob was the third person who died this year in Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution, where I am incarcerated. During the summer, prison administrators finally agreed to schedule a memorial for all three men. Each dead man was allotted 20 minutes for remembrances. I suppose we were meant to feel comforted by the memorial.
Inside the ‘Shadow Surge’ Driving ICE Arrests to New Heights
After federal immigration agents ended their aggressive enforcement blitzes in the streets of Minneapolis and Chicago, President Donald Trump promised mass deportations with “a little bit of a softer touch.” Less focused on targeted cities, this quieter approach has led to a surge in immigration arrests across the country. Arrests began climbing gradually in March and by July had risen sharply. In nearly every state, arrests exceeded the number from the same period the year before.
Gavin Newsom Could Reshape the U.S. Death Penalty, But It’s Politically Risky
In 2019, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called the state’s death penalty system a failure and issued an executive order halting executions. His order — and the sight of the lethal injection gurney and the gas chamber chair being driven away from San Quentin State Prison — left the impression that capital punishment in California was all but dead. It is not: There are 546 men and 18 women who could still face execution in the state.
‘I Am Afraid of Losing a Life that Took Decades to Build’: Salvadorans Await Loss of TPS
MARSHALL, Mo. – Amid the loud din of workers packaging beef and pork last week at a Cargill meat processing plant, Alma Sandoval retreated from the production lines she supervised and went into the office. She grabbed a spare bag and quietly started filling it with belongings scattered on her desk. She took down the pictures of her late mother, who fled El Salvador with a toddling Sandoval in tow to the United States decades ago and worked for years on the line at the plant.
ICE Wrongfully Arrested Him. Will His Lawsuit Change How Courts Hold Agents Accountable?
In January, as the Trump administration launched an immigration crackdown in Maine, Juan Sebastián Carvajal-Muñoz was intercepted on his way to work. The civil engineer from Colombia told officers he had a visa through his employer, but the immigration agents who arrested him did not seem to care.

Teen Treatment Center CEO Accused of Trying to Have Sex With Minor in Police Sting in Ohio
The chief executive of one of Ohio’s largest residential treatment centers for youth is accused of driving nearly three hours to meet someone for sex whom he believed was a 14-year-old girl. Instead, he met a police officer, according to police and court documents. Randall J. Mackendrick, CEO of Fox Run Center for Children and Adolescents, was arrested on Aug. 29 in Lorain County after having driven about 175 miles from St. Clairsville, where the facility is located and where he lives, police said.
