New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo outlined a proposal on Sunday to reform the criminal justice system in 2016, a continuation of the plans he’s been rolling out ahead of the State of the State address on Wednesday.

Speaking at Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem, the governor announced plans to invest in community schools, jobs for inner-city youth, college classes for inmates, and re-entry programs. He also said he would re-introduce legislation to raise the age of criminal responsibility form 16 to 18.

“Far too many of our young people end up trapped in our criminal justice system with no path out, and it’s time that changed,” he said.

Around 1,000 inmates in New York will get a chance to take college classes over the next five years. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is investing $7.5 million from his criminal forfeiture funds into the program, which will be matched by another $7.5 million from educational institutions. Inmates who are within two-to-five years of their release will be eligible to apply for the courses.

Chauncey Parker, special policy advisor to Vance, said that currently more than 50 percent of the 20,000 people released each year from state prisons end up back behind bars within three years.

“From a crime fighting perspective there’s an enormous opportunity there to do better in protecting our communities,’ he said. “Because if we can reduce that recidivism rate it means that we reduce the number of victims.”

The Governor also announced he plans to propose investing $100 million to transform failing schools, and $50 million to create job opportunities for inner-city youth.
