Parole reform is gaining steam in New York.
On Wednesday, a bill cleared the state Legislature that will restore the voting rights of people out on parole, and this could be just the beginning.
According to advocates, the parole system now is disproportionately affecting people of color who make up about 70% of those under community supervision.
“The parole system as it exists right now prolongs the incarceration of survivors of violence, the majority of who are Black and Latinx survivors,” said state Senator Julia Salazar.
This bill has drawn criticism, however, for its broadness.
