That support is real and ongoing.
In FY2025 alone, Queens Supervised Release served 7,130 participants, including 41,547 in-person meetings with case managers and 25,870 phone contacts.
Supervised release is about more than court reminders. It connects participants with support around barriers like housing, health care, employment, and stability—so people can navigate the court process without unnecessary incarceration.

CJA is proud to see the @CrimJusticeNYC continue to invest in supervised release and the future of pretrial justice.
We helped start SR in 2009 with the Queens pilot, and we’ve been working to evolve the program to meet a changing city ever since. What began as an alternative to bail has grown into an important citywide strategy that supports court return, stability, and community-based care.
Thank you to the City for its support and leadership, and to our partners at CASES for helping strengthen this work on behalf of program participants and all New Yorkers.
