In partnership with MarshallProj, a deep dive into how students at Amherst-Pelham Regional High in Massachusetts exposed their school's use of prison labor:
In January, at his high school’s chorus fundraiser, 17-year-old Spencer Cliche overheard a chat between a parent and a “trusted faculty member.” The seats in the auditorium, Spencer says he heard the two adults saying, were going to be reupholstered using prison labor.
Until then, the class hadn’t done much investigative journalism, sticking mostly to profiles of fellow classmates and articles on school clubs and sports teams; they had also published a feature on vaping. But the prison labor story seemed like a juicy scoop to student newshounds. Next, Spencer sent a list of questions to the school superintendent and contacted a spokeswoman for the state prison system. Barber-Just enlisted two University of Massachusetts journalism professors to help with reporting and structuring an investigative feature story. Together, the class workshopped drafts, and students on the newspaper staff gave it a final read, putting the print edition together after school hours.
