Southside Collection
This is a series of 5 articles/essays about the Southside in Chicago, or to be on point crime, justice and race in Chicago. They are by five different authors so somewhat mixed.
The Waiting Room is most likely the most moving as it deals with the presence of a jail in the neighborhood as well as the impact of jail on the lives of people. It is more thoughtful and deep than The Gun King, which is about a young man sent to jail for dealing guns. Gun King does raise legit questions but it needed to be a bit longer.
The profile of Kim Foxx is good and in depth.
