Stevens criticizes administration plan for lacking funding and timeline
Stevens acknowledges the administration's press release plan to improve secure detention and reduce overcrowding. She says the plan lacks funding, timeline, and follow-through details, and the committee wants specific numbers and dates.
Early this year, the Administration of Children's Services, the Mayor's Office of Criminal Justice, and the Department of Probation issued a press release about a plan to improve secure detention conditions and reduce overcrowding.
I welcome any serious efforts to address this crisis, but a plan is only as good as funding and a timeline.
and its follow through.
And the press release failed to include any of those critical details.
Today, this committee intends to investigate exactly what steps this administration plans to take, including how they will be funded, how things will be funded, and when New Yorkers can expect to see real results.
We want specific numbers, dates, not general commitments.
