RAPP NYS Executive Clemency Toolkit

Navigating the executive clemency process can be difficult because the New York State official sources do not provide adequate information and guidance on the application process.

What is known about the executive clemency process is contained in this toolkit and comes from the invaluable experience of countless individuals, families, friends, organizations, and attorneys who went through the application process. Some of those individuals have also met with the Governor's staff to discuss the problems many face navigating the clemency process. It is because of their diligent work and advocacy that we have this information about executive clemency today.

This toolkit seeks to provide all you will need such as basic executive clemency information, compiling a petition, requesting documents, and much more.

Please notify us for questions, updates, or errors in this toolkit. Thank you.
