N.J. L’Heureux\, Exec. Director Queens Federation of Churches \nRecent reports have demonstrated that the existence of a growing population of elderly and aging people in prisons is one of the many effects of mass incarceration over the past 30 years. Mandatory minimum sentence laws of the 1980s and after have placed many individuals in long-term sentences\, sentences which are not particularly commensurate with the crimes for which they were convicted. In addition to that problem\, one of the issues we’re addressing is that of increasingly difficult parole criteria. In New York State\, we have observed that parole boards quite often judge applicants on the seriousness of the original crime\, not their demonstrated rehabilitation.
