The Correctional Association of New York (CANY) is an independent organization designated by law to provide oversight and monitoring of state prisons in New York State. Established in 1844, CANY is responsible for visiting and examining correctional facilities to assess prison conditions, the treatment of incarcerated individuals, and the implementation of policies set by the executive and legislature.
CANY releases Post-Visit Reports that include observations, recommendations, and responses to findings from the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Their work aims to promote transparency and accountability within the prison system, advocating for the rights and well-being of incarcerated individuals. Through their efforts, CANY strives to improve prison conditions and ensure fair treatment for those in custody.
