Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.) https://t.co/7WqjlppvF8

So proud of this collab between @19thnews and @wnpr up today! I had the honor of partnering with @brialloyd (my old NewsHour colleague!) to look at how Connecticut became a model for laws requiring free prison phone calls:

Connecticut families brought an end to expensive prison communication, providing a lifeline for the voices behind bars. But consistent contact still isn't guaranteed.
