New Website on Alternatives to Jail Building
SUFFOLKSUPERJAIL.COM is the official website of the Concerned Communities for Alternatives to Jail” a movement of citizens and organizations opposed to the construction of an 1130 bed jail facility in Yaphank, NY, also known as the Suffolk “super jail”.
We ask that every reform be exhausted before we commit to a plan that has been called wasteful, socially irresponsible, fiscally disastrous, and morally wrong.
Included on the website:
* Financial cost to Suffolk County and its taxpayers
* Environmental Impacts on the local community
* Social Cost to Suffolk County residents
* Why Not in Suffolk County? Cost-Effective Solutions to Jail Overcrowding
