The Partnership for the Public Good will join Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, NYCLU, #HALTsolitary Campaign, and others on Monday, March 28 at 10 a.m. via Zoom for a virtual press conference ahead of New York State’s April 1 budget deadline in opposition to Governor Hochul’s proposed reform rollbacks. We will also discuss misconceptions about the 2019 bail law, including vested powers officers, prosecutors, and judges underutilize. New York’s incarceration rate is higher than Canada and the United Kingdom combined. Governor Hochul and lawmakers can learn from the harm and violence experienced during the pandemic by breaking the cycle with stronger investments in communities, not cages.
