Advocates demand legislative reforms for parole justice and crime survivor support in NY
As the state’s legislative session kicks off with the new year, a vocal group comprising family members of incarcerated individuals and former prisoners themselves wasted no time to gather at the Capitol on Wednesday morning.
Representing the Release Aging People in Prison Campaign (RAPP), these advocates called for immediate action on a comprehensive agenda aimed at reforming the justice system and enhancing community safety.
RAPP’s agenda features pivotal legislation like the Elder Parole and the Fair and Timely Parole bills.
