Support intensifies for ‘Communities Not Cages’ package across NY

Together, the bills are being called the "Communities Not Cages" package. It includes eliminating the Mandatory Minimums Act, which would allow judges to consider individual factors when determining a sentence rather than relying on mandatory minimums; the Second Look Act, which would allow judges to revisit and reconsider long sentences. The third bill, known as the Earned Time Act, would allow inmates to receive a time allowance that would contribute to their sentence.
