(NEW YORK, NY) – The Release Aging People in Prison Campaign and
Parole Preparation Project released the following statement in response to
Governor Cuomo’s announcement that he will release 1,100 people who have violated parole from prison and jail:

“Governor Cuomo is doing the right thing by bringing relief to 1,100 New
Yorkers who were convicted of violating parole. We call on the governor to
use this as the first step towards justice for far more incarcerated New
Yorkers who are vulnerable to COVID-19. Thousands of elders and other
New Yorkers with seriously compromised immune systems continue to
languish in the governor’s prison system. The governor should grant them
clemency now before it’s too late.”
