Lawmakers, faith leaders, organizers and those who have lost loved ones gathered to erect a prison graveyard outside of the New York State Capitol building in Albany to protest what they believe to be inhumane and life-threatening conditions at the jail. 

Protesters on May 31 remembered those who have died in custody, emphasizing their accomplishments and contributions while also demanding passage of the Elder Parole and Fair and Timely Parole bills, both of which would require parole to be offered to incarcerated individuals who do not pose a threat to society.
