Stanley Richards
Stanley Richards is a groundbreaking figure in prison reform, recently appointed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as the first former inmate to lead the Department of Correction. Having served time in the 1980s for robbery, Richards has since dedicated his life to advocating for rehabilitation and reform within the correctional system. His past experiences as a former inmate, coupled with his roles as first deputy commissioner and vice chair of a task force aimed at closing Rikers Island, position him uniquely to influence change in a system currently facing federal scrutiny.
