NYC Invests $391 Million In Communities & Comprehensive Reforms To The Criminal Justice System
“‘The New York City Bar Association applauds the Mayor and the City Council for this comprehensive, forward-looking proposal which not only will close the Rikers Island jails, but also will put in place multiple criminal justice reforms to reduce New York City’s incarcerated population and enhance post-release reentry support,’ said New York City Bar Association President Roger Juan Maldonado. ‘This is a historic opportunity to end the blight of Rikers forever and continue New York City on the path to making incarceration a last resort.’”
