First Deputy Commissioner Francis Torres explains the 6A program's process for reviewing and selecting individuals for potential early release, based on their criminal history, conduct, and needs.

  • The 6A program evaluates candidates based on past criminal justice involvement, institutional conduct, previous charges, and their needs upon release.
  • Essential for release is ensuring successful community transition through partnerships and personalized transition plans.
  • Frequency of check-ins with a case manager post-release is tailored to the individual's needs.
  • Since 2022, 75 individuals have been released or transitioned, with 5 recent transitions under Commissioner Magini Li.
