Protect Visiting in NY

Protect our right to visit IN-PERSON at New York's prisons and jails.

Is there pending legislation or a campaign in your community that would ensure that children of arrested or incarcerated parents are considered and their needs met? Keep families together rather than rely on incarceration? Remove barriers to staying connected? Make reentry smoother?
