Citizen action is one of the keys to maintaining safe and humane conditions for all who live and work behind bars. Here's how you can get involved:

1. Support the CA. One of the most effective ways for you to make a difference in prison conditions is to make a donation to the Correctional Association. Because it is our mission to hold the criminal justice system accountable for its policies and practices, we receive very little government funding. We rely on contributions from concerned citizens like you who share our determination to create a safer and more just society.

If you'd prefer to send your donation by mail, please use this form. The Correctional Association is a not-for-profit organization recognized under I.R.S. regulations as a 501(c) (3). All contributions are tax-deductible.

2. Stay informed. Sign up for our mailing list and receive updates about current problems in the system and what we're doing to resolve them.

3. Join the movement. The Coalition for Women Prisoners, the Juvenile Justice Coalition, and the Drop the Rock Coalition to repeal the Rockefeller Drug Laws are groups of concerned citizens who advocate for laws that will improve the administration of justice in New York. To get involved, call 212-254-5700 or email the Correctional Association.
