From Legal Action Center
I am writing to announce the release of our new white paper, “Unlocking Potential: The Role of Community-Based Alternatives in Strengthening Public Safety.” The paper is the result of an extensive survey of ATI and reentry providers in upstate and Western NY, five in-person roundtables with providers in those regions, and two focus groups with formerly incarcerated folks. You can read the press release HERE.
The report argues for the expansion of these critical services in areas that have traditionally been service deserts and now are facing some of the highest rates of incarceration across the state.
Onward,
Megan
