Reasonably Suspicious: Hosted by
Scott Henson and Mandy Marzullo
"exceptionally terrific"
"A protein-laden dose of big thinking on criminal justice reform."
"A powerful and well-researched site."
GFB is "an indispensable handle if you're interested in criminal justice in Texas."
Scott Henson is "one of the nation’s finest criminal-justice policy wonks."
Grits for Breakfast "is the best blog about criminal justice in Texas" and "as usual extremely fair"
"the best coverage of criminal justice in the entire state"
"I respect the work Scott does and appreciate his thoughtful and extensive coverage of Texas’s criminal justice system"
Jim Bethke, Texas Indigent Defense Commission
"Grits for Breakfast has done a terrific job covering Texas prison overcrowding issues."
"the indispensable blog on criminal justice and law enforcement in Texas"
"plugged in and well written"
"I always tell people interested in these issues that your blog is the most important news source, and have had high-ranking corrections officials tell me they read it regularly."
"a helluva blog"
"Congrats on building one of the most read and important blogs on a specific policy area that I've ever seen"
GFB "is a fact-packed, trustworthy reporter of the weirdness that makes up corrections and criminal law in the Lone Star State" and has "shown more naked emperors than Hans Christian Andersen ever did."
"Grits really shows the potential of a single-state focused criminal law blog"
"I regard Grits for Breakfast as one of the most welcome and helpful vehicles we elected officials have for understanding the problems and their solutions."
"dude really has a pragmatic approach to crime fighting, almost like he’s some kind of statistics superhero"
"concise, knowledgeable, in-depth and sometimes counter-to-prevailing wisdom"
- Rob Patterson, The Austin Post
"Scott Henson's 'Grits for Breakfast' is one of the most insightful blogs on criminal justice issues in Texas."
"Nobody does it better or works harder getting it right"
"I appreciate the fact that you obviously try to see both sides of an issue, regardless of which side you end up supporting."
Kim Vickers,
Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education
Grits for Breakfast "has probably broken more criminal justice stories than any TX reporter, but stays under the radar. Fascinating guy."
Maurice Chammah,
The Marshall Project
"unrestrained and uneducated"
"our favorite blog"
- Texas District and County Attorneys Association Twitter feed
"Scott Henson ... writes his terrific blog Grits for Breakfast from an outhouse in Texas."
As you are.
