PUBLIC SAFETY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE:

• Work with our State Legislator on reviewing the Criminal Justice Reform act and its application

• Reignite the Rikers Island debate. No one is safe on Rikers Island

• Advocate for the Treatment Not Jail Act which calls for people with mental health disorders who are syphoned into and through the criminal justice system which is not structured to assist people with significant mental health problems and address their needs

• Hold monthly quarterly community townhall meetings with all local NYPD precincts and district constituents

• Approximately 600,000 people are released from state and federal prisons annually. I will work with organizations like the National Reentry Network and NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to help provide the necessary support to make an easier transition of formerly incarcerated to reenter society
