zReportage.com Story Summary: zReportage.com Story of the Week #749: TUESDAY August 11, 2020: INSANE INVISIBLE IN DANGER, by ZUMA Press Newspaper The Tampa Bay Times photographer John Pendygraft and reporters Leonora LaPeter Anton, Anthony Cormier and Michael Braga, who together spent more than a year investigating and documenting Florida’s state-run mental hospitals, exposing institutions shrouded in secrecy. Using those records, the reporters created the first comprehensive database of injuries and violent episodes at Florida’s mental hospitals. Florida’s state-funded mental hospitals are supposed to be safe places to care for people who are a danger to themselves or others. But years of neglect and 00 million in budget cuts have turned them into treacherous warehouses where violence is out of control and patients can’t get the care they need. Since 2009, violent attacks at the state’s six largest hospitals have doubled. Nearly 1,000 patients ordered to the hospitals for close supervision managed to injure themselves or someone else. This story won a Pulitzer prize for investigative reporting. Welcome to: INSANE INVISIBLE IN DANGER

June 18, 2020, Tokyo, Japan: Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe speaks during a press conference at the prime minister’s official residence. Japan’s longest-serving leader has been powerless to prevent a chain of events, including the coronavirus crisis, from eroding public confidence in his leadership and administration. Now Thursday’s arrests of his close aide and former justice minister Katsuyuki Kawai and his wife on suspicion of vote buying in the 2019 upper house election come as another blow.
