Policy, Inc.

vision

Here at Policy Inc., we want a society where justice is equitable and accessible to all, regardless of race or socio-economic status. As a 501C(3) non-profit policy advocacy organization, we are dedicated to engaging policymakers and stakeholders in the criminal justice system to shape and implement reforms that eliminate harsh and ineffective laws that disproportionately impact communities of color and low-income populations. We envision a future where our criminal justice system promotes healing and rehabilitation rather than punishment and retribution, and where every person is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. Through collaborative efforts and evidence-based solutions, we strive to create a more just and equitable society for all.

Our Mission

IDENTIFY

Our team of experts work tirelessly to research and identify legislation and policies that have a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. We use real-world data and research to build strong cases and advocate for reforms that will promote greater equity and justice.

ENGAGE

We understand that achieving meaningful criminal justice reform requires a collaborative effort that involves policymakers, stakeholders, and the community. Our approach is grounded in research and data, and we work closely with policymakers to identify areas where reform is needed most.

CONFRONT

We understand that the conditions of confinement in jails and prisons can have a profound impact on individuals and families involved in the system. We work closely with individuals and families who are impacted by incarceration to use their experiences and identify areas where change is needed.

Voting Rights Restored, So What

On May 4, 2021 there was a bill signing. No celebration, No fanfare, nothing. Just a late-night signing of a bill into law. This even though the legislation was one that immediately and directly affected tens of thousands of people within New York State.

An Alternative-to-Incarceration Program

As an Alternative-To-Incarceration strategy, further referred to as (ATI), we have developed a comprehensive program that best equips Justice-involved individuals eligible for Local Conditional Release with the resources they need to live successful lives once released.

The Rough Ride

I yelled several times to gain the attention of the correction officers; the pain was immense. “Please Stop!” I yelled over and over, but to no avail my calls for help were met with inattention and silence.

The SHU

We know who you are! We know that what happened to you is bullsh*t!

N.R.T.

When the officer said, “If you’re white, your life is really f*cked up”, I am fully persuaded he was speaking through N.R.T. (Negative Race Transference).

French Canadian

Yup, the black guy.

Let's Vote

The Released can now vote

The restoration of voting rights to formerly incarcerated individuals has been a contentious issue across the United States. In New York State, this issue has gained significant attention in recent years as advocates push for a change in the law to allow those who have completed their sentences to participate in the democratic process.
