Welcome

New York City is reimagining its jails as civic assets that will provide a better life for persons in custody and those who work in them, support smoother transitions back home, and serve as resources for the community.

Representatives from the NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC), Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice (MOCJ), Department of Correction (DOC), and the project’s Design-Build Team have summarized how the previous community feedback was incorporated into the design and collected additional feedback at the Community Design Workshop #3, held at SoBro Social on June 23rd, 2025 from 6-8 p.m.

This online platform is being made available to provide community members with an opportunity to provide feedback on the facility design process. This platform is intended to augment the in-person workshop and allow anyone unable to attend in person the chance to review and comment on design materials. The comment period on this website will close on Thursday, July 3, 2025 at 11:59 p.m

Let's Brainstorm

Community engagement is critical, as the path forward relies on continued support for this vision. Concerns about design and neighborhood impacts will be heard and taken into account.
