People's Campaign for Parole Justice Works to Free Seniors In New York Prisons and Jails

This past Monday, advocates for prison and parole reform across New York City and state held six different rallies to raise awareness about seniors spending indefinite amounts of time on parole. They are preparing for a trip to Albany next month to get two state bills that would reunite rehabilitated incarcerated seniors with their families and save New York state money signed into law in the 2026 Legislative Session.Radio Catskill’s Genevieve Hartnett attended the Newburgh rally for the People’s Campaign for Parole Justice and spoke with advocates, allies, and elected officials about how we can move towards a system of true rehabilitation for all incarcerated people.
