NEW: Under Gov. Hochul, racial disparities in parole releases are the worst on record, according to a new report by NYU’s Center for Race, Inequality & the Law. If release rates were equal, as many as 1,338 fewer people of color would be in prison today. thecity.nyc/2024/11/11/wid…

Lots going on in the news but a report by NYU Law School's RaceNYU found 1,338 fewer people of color would be in prison if not for racial bias in parole release decisions. 1,338 families continue to be separated bc the Parole Board thinks people of color deserve more punishment.

Another incarcerated person was brutally slain by prison guards in a facility just across the street from Marcy Prison, where guards murdered Robert Brooks. Guards even made incarcerated people clean up the blood. The incarcerated people are the ones who are not safe. Statement:
