The grant will go to covering <meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>criminal justice issues for both juvenile and adult cases in the state at the founding NPR station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public Welfare Foundation awarded the grant to the university to increase awareness about the justice system. <a href=\"http:\/\/grantwatch.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrantWatch<\/a> has a category on its site specifically for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grants-filter.php?recipient_id%5B%5D=Select+All&amp;recipient_id%5B%5D=1&amp;recipient_id%5B%5D=2&amp;recipient_id%5B%5D=3&amp;category_id%5B%5D=21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">justice and juvenile justice grants<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the grant will go directly to hiring a full-time reporter for the radio station. The position will be responsible for regular news coverage that will contribute to public dialogue on this issue. For example, this will include discussing topics like how the criminal justice system operates, and how the state spends public dollars. Michigan Radio expects  these reports to begin by Fall 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This includes how tax dollars are spent on things like: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Police expenditures- police, sheriffs, state highway patrols, as well as other governmental departments charged with protecting public safety.<\/li><li>Court fees- civil and criminal courts costs, including prosecuting and district attorneys, public defenders, witness fees and law libraries.<\/li><li>Corrections- &nbsp;operation, maintenance, and construction of prisons and jails, as well as the activities of probation officers and parole boards.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar grants are available on GrantWatch for up to $500 and equipment valued up to $1,500 for U.S. K-12 schools and Institutes of Higher Education <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/176248\/grants-to-usa-schools-ihes-and-educational-nonprofits-for-classroom-equipment-and-programs-related-to-broadcasting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to support amateur radio classroom projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Criminal Justice System in Michigan<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>In addition to the coverage itself, Michigan Radio will use the grant to engage the public by hosting town halls and events about criminal justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prisonpolicy.org\/profiles\/MI.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to Prison Policy Initiative<\/a>, Michigan has an incarceration rate of&nbsp;599 per 100,000 people. This is the tenth highest rate in the United States. Additionally, a total of 253,000 residents of the state were behind bars or under criminal justice supervision as of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"\/>&#8220;This new beat will allow Michigan Radio to better serve communities that are highly policed, heavily surveilled, and have the most interaction with criminal courts, prisons, and the parole system. It will also allow us the time and space to help people recognize the systemic and historical contexts that led us here,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.michiganradio.org\/station-news\/2021-09-13\/michigan-radio-receives-grant-to-expand-criminal-justice-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sarah Hulett<\/a>, the director of enterprise and long-form journalism at Michigan Radio. &#8220;We want people to understand how these policies and systems work and don\u2019t work, and for whom.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GrantWatch also has similar grants of $10,000 available for U.S. cities and towns <a href=\"https:\/\/grantwatch.com\/grant\/194652\/grants-to-usa-cities-and-towns-to-encourage-collaboration-among-community-residents.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to encourage collaboration<\/a> among community residents.
