My last @CivilBeat article! One of my favorites revealing that minimum sentences are up in the state and the wonky sentencing system that makes it hard to know why
More aggressive minimum sentences coincide with severe overcrowding and deteriorating prison conditions. @indurskyjake #HInews civilbeat.org/2023/09/minimu…

Authorities don’t know how contaminated Lahaina is, but past wildfires show destroyed urban areas are strewn with hazardous waste that can complicate the remediation process.
But the debris contains a unique Hawaii building material that harbors its own risk.
The contaminated waste includes a unique #Hawaii building material made of sugarcane fiber and termite poison. @AllanSCKew #HInews #MauiFires civilbeat.org/2023/08/toxic-…
