Urgent Call to Governor Hochul: Protect Families and In-Person Visits in New York Prisons

The challenges for families of those in New York prisons pre-dated the strike and were exacerbated by it. Read our sign-on letter requesting that 1) visitors’ and families’ access to their loved ones should not be restricted; 2) the DOCCS body scanning Memo dated March 2 be rescinded, and 3) Families' experiences and input should be considered and their representatives included in decisions about policies that affect them.

Join our Protect In-Person Visiting Post Card Campaign!

Please join our postcard campaign to urge State Assembly Speaker Heastie to pass the Protect In-Person Visits Bill (A4603/S5037)! This important bill will protect in-person visits from being replaced with video calls and require facilities to offer evening or weekend visiting hours. Your voice matters—let's make sure families can continue to visit their loved ones in person!

“After 24 years in prison, reentering society felt overwhelming, but Osborne gave me the support and guidance I needed to rebuild my life. From securing housing and benefits to learning new skills, Osborne not only helped me find stability but also inspired me to give back and support others on their journey home.”
