National Public Radio investigative reporter Daniel Zwerdling's
report on prison abuse.
While most of the media was focusing on abuses in a faraway
prison complex named Abu Ghraib, a veteran investigative journalist
was finding the exact same thing in decidedly less exotic
locales - such as New Jersey and Louisiana. After receiving a
tip from an immigration lawyer, National Public Radio investigative
reporter Daniel Zwerdling began a reporting odyssey that would lead
to the end of the use of attack dogs on detainees at one prison,
and highlight the scandal of a Jamaican man who died while being
held in another. AIR chronicles his award-winning NPR report.
