People with felony convictions are as capable of serving as jurors as any other group of citizens...Ending the permanent ban on jury service will serve the interests of justice by increasing the size and diversity of the jury pool, as well as the quality of deliberations.
Jury service is a core function of our civic fabric and represents every individual's right to access robust civic participation. The New York State Unified Court System embraces this measure's vision of reintegrating into society those who have fully served the terms of their sentences.
