But more than just the monetary cost behind that time, it’s the human cost that Peaceprints Western New York Executive Director Cindi McEachon, sees as most detrimental. “If you are removing somebody from their family, from their community, from their job, from their home,” she said. “And placing them in jail for 100 days because you have the discretionary authority to do so, and then we find out you don’t have enough to hold them and you let them back out, you have disrupted their opportunities for growth, for success, for maintaining their lifestyle in the community.” ....
WBFO s Thomas O Neil-White reports. As the Executive Director of PeacePrints Western New York, McEachon’s goal is to provide a link to services on the outside for people at the end of their journey through the state prison system.

NYUJ is a bi-partisan criminal justice reform coalition. “New Yorkers spend hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars a year on a system that fails to deliver on its actual purpose,” Horwitz said. “Which is to safely bring home people from incarceration, permanently.” The coalition launched a statewide public campaign to urge the state legislature and New York Gov.
