Policy Agenda 2011
REDUCING OVERINCARCERATION
In the past 10 years, New York's adult prison inmate population has dropped by over 13,000 people, but the state has only reduced its capacity by 2,250 beds. There are still over 6,300 empty prison beds being funded by taxpayers—wasting millions of dollars each year.
In the coming year Drop the Rock's prison downsizing campaign will lead outreach, advocacy, and education efforts aimed at addressing this range of issues.
