"I am proud of the Prison Reform Omnibus bill that passed at the end of session. New York's prisons have been plagued by a systemic pattern of violence toward incarcerated individuals, with little accountability or oversight. Within the last year, correction officers murdered two incarcerated men. The civil rights of incarcerated New Yorkers are routinely violated. The situation in our state's prisons is an emergency. This bill is a crucial step toward ending this violence."
"I fight for my constituents by listening directly to their concerns. Being present in my community, engaging with our neighbors, and making my office accessible ensures that my legislative work in Albany aligns with my district's needs. For example, that has meant fighting to win Good Cause eviction last year, for the 84% of District 18 residents who are renters, and for the End Toxic Home Flipping Act to support homeowners and aspiring homeowners."
Senator Julia Salazar led passage of a Prison Reform Omnibus bill in 2025 aimed at addressing systemic violence and lack of accountability in New York's prisons. The bill responds to recent incidents where correction officers murdered two incarcerated men and to routine violations of incarcerated New Yorkers' civil rights. Salazar emphasizes community engagement and accessible constituent services, crediting those practices with victories such as Good Cause eviction for renters and the End Toxic Home Flipping Act to aid homeowners and prospective homeowners. The senator encourages constituents to contact the state senator's office for any issue and offers the office as a one-stop shop for assistance.
