He quickly sees a troubling pattern: Kids are jailed for minor offenses, even when the law says they shouldn’t be. Wes is frustrated and demoralized, even more so because no one else at the court seems to think there’s a problem. That is, until Wes meets another lawyer who sees things the way he does.

Meribah Knight and Daniel Guillemette and Julie Snyder andApple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music Listen and follow ‘The Kids of Rutherford County’In April 2016, 11 Black schoolchildren, some as young as 8 years old, were arrested in Rutherford County, Tenn. For over a decade, this county had arrested and illegally jailed hundreds, maybe thousands, of children. The answer would lead back to a powerful judge, the jailer she appointed and a county that treated this astronomical number of arrests as normal. From Serial Productions and The New York Times, “The Kids of Rutherford County” is a four-part narrative series reported and hosted by Meribah Knight, a Peabody-award winning reporter based in the South. In the podcast, Knight explores the world of one county’s juvenile court — a court shrouded in confidentiality and privacy, which in turn allowed something secretive and illegal to grow.
