    "Prisons in Illinois were teeming with cases like his—Black men who’d been locked up as teenagers. Few would ever be freed." An extraordinary story in about one man's tragic early life, and the hope he's held onto while incarcerated.

    So thrilled is a award finalist, for his profile of a mother who lost her son to an overdose and later learned that her husband had invented a substance (naloxone) that could have saved him. CONGRATS to all the honorees!

    When Adolfo Davis was sentenced to life without parole at 16, he couldn't read or write. Once he learned, he bought pen and paper at the commissary and wrote to every law firm he could find, hoping someone would take his case. This is his story.

    In Come by Chance, Newfoundland, two babies were switched at birth. They discovered the mistake 52 years later, and it turns out they weren't alone. "What was going on at that hospital?" one asked. "Was it done on purpose?” :
