Mental Health Alternatives to Solitary Confinement

 

Join the Statewide Call to Action!

      Call Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver 

TODAY  December 6, 2007      

 

After 5 years of tireless advocacy, the 'SHU' bill that will allow New
York State to provide more appropriate and humane in-prison residential
and treatment services for prisoners with severe psychiatric
disabilities 

is only one step away from the Governor's desk. 

 

The bill will also ensure that correctional officers are provided with
adequate mental health training and will significantly improve prison
safety conditions across New York State. 

 

Help us to urge the NYS Assembly to return this month to pass A.9342
before year's end!

 

Help end the suffering for the prisoners with disabilities!

 

CALL ASSEMBLYMAN SILVER TODAY  

at 518-455-3791

and leave the following message:

 

"I'm a registered voter from (your locality) calling 

to urge Speaker Silver to assure Assembly passage of A.9342 before
year's end to 

improve prison mental health care and safety conditions in New York!"
