NY s incarcerated offered vaccine incentives

PUBLISHED 8:10 PM ET Jul. 02, 2021 PUBLISHED 8:10 PM EDT Jul. 02, 2021 SHARE Barbeques, care packages and conjugal visits are being offered as incentives to incarcerated individuals to boost the COVID-19 vaccination rate in prisons. Right now, only about 45% of those incarcerated have received the vaccine so far, compared to the rest of the state, which has a vaccination rate of over 70%. In an internal memo obtained by Spectrum News 1 and first reported by the New York Post, the acting commissioner of the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) announced the details of this vaccine incentive program. But Mike Powers, president of the union that represents correctional officers, NYSCOPBA, says while they have nothing against creating a safer work environment, these correctional officers have been on the front lines during the pandemic and should be included in an incentives program.

Senate committee approves bills on parole, voting rights for formerly incarcerated people

Capitol Confidential By Edward McKinley on February 22, 2021 at 12:22 PM ALBANY The Fair and Timely Parole Act, which would shift the presumption for discretionary parole so that hearings are less focused on the original crime, was advanced by the state Senate Corrections Committee on Monday. Criminal justice reform advocates have rallied around the measure as a step that would reduce racial bias in the process and would offer a more fair and forward-looking approach to discretionary parole, rather than a current process which they say focuses primarily on the original crime, despite it occurring decades ago. Times Union reporting last fall analyzed 19,000 parole decisions and found significant racial bias, and activists point to the Fair and Timely Parole Act as a fix.
