One of the findings that stood out the most to me from your investigation was this --> Indiana lawmakers passed legislation that transferred 1000s of prison inmates to county jails. Then, the state quietly changed the criteria for when a jail is considered understaffed.
Is there no federal standard or checks/balances system that would prevent state authorities from doing this kind of thing? Or is this completely unregulated?
