Balko earned a B.A. in journalism and political science in 1997 from Indiana University Bloomington.
Balko blogs about criminal justice, the drug war, and civil liberties.
He has worked as an opinion writer for The Washington Post, a senior writer and investigative reporter for The Huffington Post, a senior editor at Reason magazine, and a policy analyst for the Cato Institute, specializing in vice and civil liberties issues.
He writes on drug policy, police misconduct, obesity, alcohol, tobacco, and civil liberties.

In 2009, Balko's investigative report on expert witness fraud in a Louisiana death penalty case won the Western Publication Association's Maggie Award for reporting.
In 2011, The Week named Balko a finalist for Opinion Columnist of the Year.
Also in 2011, the Los Angeles Press Club named Balko Best of Show Journalist of the Year, the judges saying:

Time and time again, his stories cause readers to stop, think, and most significantly, take action.
He began writing an opinion blog at The Washington Post in January 2014.
Balko's work on "no-knock" drug raids was profiled in The New York Times, and cited by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer in his dissent in Hudson v. Michigan.

Balko has advocated the abolition of laws criminalizing drunk driving, arguing that the "punishable act should be violating road rules or causing an accident, not the factors that led to those offenses. Singling out alcohol impairment for extra punishment isn't about making the roads safer".
He has expressed his position against the judicial policy of civil asset forfeiture, arguing that it is a "practice contrary to a basic sense of justice and fairness".
Balko has also authored two books on the topic of increasing militarization in police forces:
