Nearly $3 billion in state funds will be spent on corrections and criminal justice services in New York this year. Under the state's first Democratic administration in 12 years, will there be a new vision—and new policies—on sentencing, prison conditions and drug treatment, health care and education behind bars? And with 25,000 ex-offenders returning home each year, what kind of support can communities expect?
