Founded in 1844, the Correctional Association of New York (CA) is one of only two private organizations in the country—and the only one in New York—with legislative authority to inspect and report on conditions in state prisons. Through a nationally-recognized model combining independent prison oversight, community organizing, coalition building, public education, policy advocacy, and leadership development, the CA works to create a more fair, efficient and humane criminal justice system and a safer, more just society. The Correctional Association of New York operates four principal projects—Juvenile Justice, Prison Visiting, Public Policy, and Women in Prison.
