Steve Garrison covered the criminal justice system for six years at newspapers in Wisconsin, New Mexico and Indiana before pursuing a master’s degree in investigative journalism from the Missouri School of Journalism. Steve was named the recipient of the James and Patricia Atwater Memorial Writing Prize for his coverage of severe weather and flooding in mid-Missouri. He has also volunteered with the Covid Tracking Project and interned with Injustice Watch, a Chicago nonprofit news organization focused on exposing institutional failures that obstruct justice and equality.
Garrison will work with Colloff to investigate the criminal justice system.
