This story (https://papost.org/2020/01/07/christians-pray-at-a-discount-muslim-inmates-charged-more-for-religious-texts/) aims to hold state and county governments accountable for the cost of items inside county jails. The reporter created the data by calling each jail and gathering prices from their commissary lists. He then compared the prices to other items on the list, in the case of Bibles and Qurans, as well as to prices of items outside the jails. The article grabs some attention with a data visualization showing how costs vary and includes a submission form to give readers an opportunity to interact, and which could lead to future stories centered around a character.
