In the last 25 years, New York has seen a reduction in the number of state prisons, with several facilities closing rather than being built. As a result, the focus has shifted towards reforming the criminal justice system and investing in alternatives to incarceration. Specifically, New York has closed over 20 prisons since the mid-1990s, reflecting a broader trend of decreasing prison populations and a push for rehabilitation.
