A recent report uncovers a counterintuitive finding: the people most frequently incarcerated in New York City jails are also people who would be better served with social services in the community.

We just released our 2015-2016 Annual Report, and we're thrilled to share some highlights of our work with you. We had another great year of leading innovative campaigns while also strengthening the movement with long-absent data and resources. Please join us in celebrating our success and planning for future victories.
