“I know what they care about,” Lawrence Bartley said of people at facilities across the U.S. and in Canada that receive the Marshall Project magazine, “News Inside.”
On a recent visit to Sing Sing Correctional Facility, Lawrence Bartley was greeted by a grateful audience, recognized as someone who has been there and back.
“At the Marshall Project, our aim is to create and sustain a sense of urgency around the criminal justice system. And that's what I'm doing with ‘News Inside,’ for people who need it the most,” Bartley told NBC’s Lester Holt. Shortly after his parole last year, Lawrence had an idea. “I figured if I could create a magazine chock full of stories that are done by the Marshall Project, who have some super-smart reporters who go around the country getting the weeds of issues and write these beautifully smart stories,” Bartley told Holt.
The Marshall Project’s editor-in-chief told NBC News that Bartley saw firsthand the need for such a publication.
