CITY COUNCIL SPEAKER JOHNSON ANNOUNCES $13.5 MILLION FOR INCARCERATION ALTERNATIVES TO REDUCE JAIL POPULATION
[Criminal Justice News]
City Council Speaker Johnson: “Sending people back to jail because of technical, non-criminal parole violations is senseless. It is unfair to take away one’s freedom just because the person missed a curfew, failed a drug test or missed an appointment with a parole officer. It is inconceivable that we have reduced the City’s jail population, yet the number of people behind bars for technical parole violations is increasing. As we continue to work to close Rikers and reform our criminal justice system, we need to provide parolees with the support they need to return to their communities and thrive.”
