The effort to change New York's parole laws is taking shape this week as advocates plan to bring their case to the districts of the top lawmakers in the state Senate and Assembly.
The People's Campaign for Parole is set to unveil billboards highlighting a pair of parole reform bills they want the legislature to take up in the coming days. One bill makes it easier for older people who are incarcerated to gain their release from prison. Another bill is meant to streamline the parole process in New York overall.
