NPR's Book of the Day - Ken Jaworowski’s new crime novel ‘What About the Bodies’ has a surprising tender side

Ken Jaworowski is out with a new crime novel with a surprising tender side. What About the Bodies is set in a fictional town past its glory days with a shuttered steel plant, closed coal mines, and a community that everyone talks about leaving. In today’s episode, the New York Times editor and author speaks with NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe about the three characters who converge in his story, the failed novels that predated this project, and why Jaworowski says he’s a better editor than writer.

1A - The Conditions In ICE Detention Centers

A record number of people are being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

And the conditions they’re reporting have been described as cruel and inhumane.Last month, 60,000 people were detained by ICE, breaking a record set by the previous Trump administration.

A Los Angeles Times analysis of public data found that more than a third of detainees have spent time in a dedicated facility that is over capacity.

And now, county jails and ICE field offices are being transformed to fill those gaps.

Jails held an average of about 10 percent of all detainees (7,100 people) each day in July, according to the Prison Policy Initiative.

So, what fallout is the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown having on ICE detention centers? What are the conditions in these centers like? And what legal options do detainees have?
