The Parole Preparation Project at Cornell partners with the Parole Preparation Project of New York City to pair qualified Cornell students with incarcerated individuals facing parole hearings within one year. After extensive training, students work closely with their parole applicants to build a strong relationship and prepare the applicant for their hearing.
During the COVID-19 crisis, students with the Parole Preparation Project are advocating for compassionate release of their applicants who face the prospect of dying in jail from the pandemic. Participants include Cornell students previously involved in criminal justice-related work that was canceled as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
