Gov. Kathy Hochul is reiterating her call to amend New York's bail reform laws.
"We cannot rest until every single New Yorker feels safe in their homes, in their streets, on the subway, their places of work," Gov. Hochul said.
"I should make it clear that we're not incarcerating people for low level crimes or criminalizing poverty but giving judges the discretion necessary to ensure public safety," Hochul said.— New York State Director Alana Sivin New York State Director Alana Sivin says in a statement: "Over the past three years, study after study has shown the positive impact of bail reform: bail reform has reduced incarceration, kept $104 million in communities, and prevented at least 24,000 people from spending time in jail, allowing them to continue to care for their families and to work, and keeping them safe in their homes.
"We urge elected leaders to follow the data - including the DCJ study, which adds to the large body of existing research - showing that rolling back this successful policy won’t make New York safer. New York’s elected leaders must reject changes to this successful policy and prioritize investments in evidence-based solutions that will advance public safety."
