Overview: As part of his Determined series, journalist Jordy Yager’s Determined to be Free exam-ined the disparate impact of mass incarcera-tion on the Black community locally. Building on several years of Charlottesville police data on temporary detentions, collected by local attorney Jeff Fogel through multiple FOIA requests, we generated a dashboard that looked at the data from several angles --the who, where, and why of stop and frisk events --to support this important community story.
