Senate Democrats Call For Real Action On Raise The Age
- Raise the Age
- Juvenile Justice Reform
- Criminal Justice Reform
"Raise the Age is a vital part of the Senate Democratic Conference’s vision for reforming juvenile justice in New York State. Under the leadership of Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the Senate Democrats continue to lead efforts to fundamentally change the way youth are treated in our criminal justice system. Raising the Age must be complemented with investments in alternatives to incarceration and educational and professional opportunities for our most vulnerable youth. Only then will we have a comprehensive approach that puts us on the path to ending mass incarceration and permanently ending the prison pipeline."
