By MICHAEL BALSAMO and MICHAEL R. SISAK WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is ramping up efforts to address a crisis of suicides and systemic failures in federal prisons and jails, announcing sweeping reforms aimed at overhauling how mental health care is provided behind bars.

In the waters off Florida’s east coast lurked the trove of gold worth a fortune that no one would find for 300 years. It seemed the treasure story concluded in 2015 when one or more divers successfully found 51 gold coins — a triumph that drew news media attention. But now, a state investigation adds a new twist to the saga. It turns out there was a much larger total amount of valuables at the time — actually 101 gold coins, state investigators say.

By TOM KRISHER, Associated Press DETROIT (AP) — For a second time, a Delaware judge has nullified a pay package that Tesla had awarded its CEO, Elon Musk, that once was valued at $56 billion.
