Description:
Launched in 2019, the Alternatives to Incarceration Court in New York County Supreme Court became one of the first all-purpose felony alternative courts in the country. This Court seeks to address the underlying reasons why individuals enter the criminal justice system, and provide resources and support, including from mental health services, education, housing and employment, as an alternative to incarceration. This Court has become a model for courts around the country and inspired calls, including calls by the City Bar, to expand the availability of these alternatives to incarceration courts.  The panel will address the effectiveness of the Alternatives to Incarceration Court and discuss the lessons learned from this new approach to criminal justice.
