NYCRUNS Brooklyn Marathon & Half Marathon

It costs nearly $450,000 to incarcerate one woman for one full year in New York City. With over 320 women in jail each year, that’s more than $143,147,840.  Mind blowing, right? For that amount, in one year, WPA can provide 94 women with safer, more cost-efficient alternatives to incarceration (ATI) that includes comprehensive case management, safe and stable housing, and employment assistance supports. WPA recognizes the true cost of incarceration and designs alternatives to support the evolving needs of women behind the fence and those returning home to their families and communities. We focus on sustainable solutions that ensure families stay together, stabilized, and secure.
