I spoke with @NY1 this morning about closing the Marcy Correctional after the horrific murder of Robert Brooks. This abuse highlights systemic issues in NY prisons. I’m urging @GovKathyHochul to act. We must ensure Robert’s death isn’t in vain.

I am pleased to share that the Farm to Prison Bill passed both the House of Assembly, the Senate and has been signed into law by the Governor!.Bill A06854 ensures that incarcerated individuals have access to fresh produce from farms in the state, strengthening the economy of NY.

As the first formerly incarcerated elected official in the New York State Assembly, I have seen first-hand how programs like SUNY’s Higher Education in Prison program can be transformative for incarcerated individuals. Education is a powerful tool for economic & social mobility.
