The Correctional Association of New York (CANY) provides independent oversight of prisons to promote transparency and accountability.
CANY systematically compiles data on the state prisons and is now releasing relevant data to the public in the form of dashboards, processed data, and source data. The dashboard below includes statistical data on deaths of individuals incarcerated in DOCCS facilities since 2020. The datasets used in this dashboard can be found on the page titled ‘Data for Download’ in the ‘Data’ menu along with relevant documentation. We will add additional data here throughout the year. By making this data available, policymakers and the public can gain a better understanding of New York’s prisons.
