New: Local governments have made efforts to revive commerce in neglected Black neighborhoods around the country. It hasn’t always worked. But Chicago can learn from their experiences. propub.li/38NQLwe

Welcome to Coffeyville, Kansas, where the judge has no law degree, debt collectors get a cut of the bail, and Americans are watching their lives — and liberty — disappear in the pursuit of medical debt collection. propub.li/3aE7kgQ

New: Michigan’s juvenile justice system is archaic. Counties act with little oversight, and the state keeps such poor data it doesn’t know how many juveniles it has in custody or what happens to them once they’re in the system. propub.li/3pbPfL5

New: Wallace’s Catfish Corner, a fish and soul food restaurant on Chicago’s West Side, was a neighborhood staple. Now the building is boarded-up and unused. Its messy history shows the challenges of rebuilding an area devastated by disinvestment. propub.li/389WMTG

New: Congressional Democrats introduced legislation to ban schools from using physical restraints that can restrict students’ breathing, and from using isolated timeout. ProPublica and the Chicago Tribune last year revealed the harms of these practices. propub.li/3fi4G0l

I wanted to give a shout out to the exceptional artists who put a lot of love and care into the illustrations and images that accompanied our story today on child labor in American factories. First, Christie Tirado, who made this beautiful print for the story.

I spoke to more than a dozen Guatemalan teens who work overnight, sometimes dangerous factories shifts to pay smugglers and sponsors, their share of rent, and send money to their families. They are too tired to stay awake at school. Here is their story. propublica.org/article/inside…

New: During the day, immigrant teenagers attend high school. At night, they work in factories to pay debts to smugglers and send money to family. The authorities aren’t surprised by child labor. They’re also not doing much about it. propub.li/3kRrHZu

NEW data confirms what @jsmithrichards and I reported almost exactly one year ago in "The Quiet Rooms" investigation. Illinois schools put students in seclusion at least 10K times in one year. Lawmakers are still debating whether it should be legal. propublica.org/article/new-da…
