Sinopse
The Virginian-Pilot, along with students from Marquette University, recently undertook a comprehensive effort to examine what happens to people with mental illness in jails throughout the country. After tracking the deaths of 404 people since 2010, the results were harrowing.

We’ll talk to Gary Harki, the investigative reporter who led the effort.
