I'm A Aisharasco and this is a Sunday story. A warning before we get started, this episode contains

mentions of suicide. In recent years, high profile cases of police brutality across the US have brought increased

attention and scrutiny to police misconduct and use of force incidents. When

something happens the police often say we're investigating.

But what's really being done or not done to ensure police are held accountable for their actions?

In 2021, a team of reporters from KQED

partnered with NPR to take a closer look at the process

for how police police themselves.

They made a podcast called on our watch,

and it was focused on select cases of police misconduct in California.

Today I'm speaking with Criminal Justice reporter Suki Lewis, the host of On Our Watch.

She and her team have continued to uncover thousands of previously sealed Internal Affairs

law enforcement records as part of the multi newsroom California reporting project.

Suki tells me about the reporting behind the new season of her show.

In season two, the show digs into recent incidents

at one of the most dangerous prisons in California.

Our conversation about the story she found within the closed world of

correctional facilities and what it takes to investigate what happens inside of

a prison after the break. The Break. Support for this
