Judges Comments:
The Houston Chronicle's Terri Langford and Texas Tribune's Emily Ramshaw receive second place for their initiative and investigative reporting that led to the closing of Daystar Residential Center. The stories documented widespread, extreme abuse
in centers for troubled youths - shocking conditions that the state had been aware of and not corrected over a period of years.
