Assemblywoman Latrice Walker is literally putting her life on the line for the second year in a row as she continues her hunger strike as a protest of what she says is Governor Kathy Hochul’s attempts to overturn—or at least incrementally chip away at—gains made in the Bail Reform effort.
During her January 10, 2023, State of the State address, Hochul said, “Bail reform is not the primary driver of a national crime wave created by a convergence of factors, including the pandemic…The bail reform law as written now leaves room for improvement…Of course, we know changing our bail laws will not automatically bring down crime rates.”
Walker said data shows that the safest communities “have the most resources and not the most police officers.” According to published reports, the bail law has spared more than 24,000 people from being jailed on bail for misdemeanor and non-violent felony charges. Activists have said that equals thousands of New Yorkers who “were able to fight their cases from a position of freedom, able to keep their jobs, housing, and access to life-affirming services, such as medical and mental health care.”
Correction officers did not tour or supervise people in custody in accordance with Department policy in 13 of the deaths. Correction officers failed to render immediate first aid to unresponsive individuals in five instances. Six of the 19 people who died had spent more than a year in custody.
