2008 PASS Award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency

I just won an award from the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) for an episode of KQED’s Forum that I produced last year, called Prisoner Health.

From the announcement:

The PASS Awards (Prevention for a Safer Society) is the only national recognition of print and broadcast journalists, TV news and feature reporters, producers, writers, and those in film and literature who try to focus America’s attention on our criminal justice, juvenile justice, and child welfare systems in a thoughtful and considered manner.

The show was produced live from San Francisco General Hospital, and featured interviews that I recorded with host Scott Shafer at San Quentin State Prison. The first hour focused on inmate health care, and the second hour focused on juvenile justice and mental health.

Hour One: Inmate Health Care

Hour Two: Juvenile Justice and Mental Health
