Correctional Association

The Correctional Association of New York (CANY) has been designated by law since 1844 to provide independent monitoring and oversight of state prisons in New York. By visiting and examining correctional facilities, CANY aims to identify and report on prison conditions, the treatment of incarcerated individuals, and the administration of policies set forth by the state's executive and legislature.

CANY systematically compiles and releases data on state prisons to promote transparency and accountability. Through initiatives such as post-visit reports, the organization highlights its observations and recommendations, contributing to ongoing discussions about prison reform and the treatment of those incarcerated.
