Research & Publications

"Beyond the Sentence: The Collateral Consequences of Clemency Denial and Lack of Clemency Transparency, and the Case for the Clemency Justice Act in New York State", for the Clemency Coalition of New York.

This research brief documents the cascading harms of clemency denial across New York State, including deportation risk, family separation, health disparities, and economic barriers, and provides the evidence base supporting the Clemency Justice Act's call for transparency, accountability, and access. By centering the lived experiences of marginalized communities (Black, Indigenous, Racialized Communities, migratory communities, LGBTQIA+, and families), this study exposes how the current opaque clemency process perpetuates systemic inequality. The brief offers a comparative analysis of New York's clemency rates against other states, details the specific vulnerabilities of PLHIV and trans individuals, and outlines a feasible implementation roadmap for the Clemency Justice Act (S.394/A.403).

New research by Jamila Hammami exposes the hidden costs of clemency denial in NY. From deportation risks to family separation to long-term health disparities, this brief provides the data to support the passage of the Clemency Justice Act (S.394/A.403).
