Report Summary

Introduction: While the world works to adjust and enact drastic measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the public, a massive humanitarian crisis is unfolding inside New York state prisons.

If this action isn’t taken, incarcerated New Yorkers will face a catastrophic loss of life.
