The jail debt forgiveness in Harrisburg was championed by Justin Douglas, a county commissioner who scored a shock upset a year ago after campaigning almost entirely on jail reform. (My deep dive on him here: boltsmag.org/dauphin-coun...)

This morning, Douglas was named chair of the county board.
His Shock Win Flipped a Pennsylvania County. Now He Vows to Raise Hell over Its Lethal Jail.
Pastor and activist Justin Douglas will soon be plunged into an insider role, helping run the state’s capital county. Can he leverage his new power to change Harrisburg
