Prison Monitoring

Using the statutory authority granted to the Correctional Association in 1846 by the New York State Legislature, the Women in Prison Project visits the correctional facilities throughout New York State that house women to gather information and report on conditions of confinement.

We tour prisons on a regular basis, follow-up with a letter to the facility superintendent and key legislators detailing our findings and recommendations, and conduct advocacy to improve conditions at the facilities we visit.
