The legislative assembly and the senate of New York State will soon deal with two important legislative changes to the parole system. The first grants parole to prisoners 55+years who have been imprisoned for 15 years. The second grants "fair and timely" parole in many other cases.
The New York state houses 34,000 prisoners, 900 of whom have Covid-19. There has been more than 30 deaths and vaccine distribution has not been planned yet.
