PRISON ISSUES
>>Given
that NYCAHN works on the issues that directly affect the lives of
our members, and given that over 80% of our members have spent time
in the criminal injustice system, our members formed the Parolee Human
Rights Project just to address the systemic issues that make prison
so dangerous for our community while at the same time trying to address
the root cause of the creation of our prison system.
>>NYCAHN
is proud to have hired Romeo Sanchez,
a long-time prison health care advocate and former prisoner himself
as our Deputy Director. To contact Romeo, call, (718) 802-9540
x 10.

individuals by Romeo Sanchez!

has committees inside Sing Sing and we would love to talk to incarcerated
individuals at other facilities who are interested in organizing their
community!
>>NYCAHN
is currently working on pushing for improved access to healthcare
in the NYS prison system.
