A lawyer working to unite children in foster care with their incarcerated parents and an investigative journalist exposing how justice is dispensed in Guantanamo Bay are among this year's Open Society Institute Soros Justice Fellows.
The 18 outstanding scholars, advocates, reporters and attorneys will receive a 12-18 month stipend to implement creative projects to assist communities that are marginalized by criminal justice policies.
Fellows' stipends range between $45,000 and $71,250, and tackle issues such as racial profiling, prison reform, immigrants' rights, and public safety.
"The Open Society Institute is proud to support these innovative leaders who are working to create a stronger, more equitable justice system," said Antonio Maciel, director of OSI's U.S. Justice Fund.
"The fellowship program not only complements and deepens OSI's justice reform work, but helps to challenge and expose pervasive inequalities in America."
