Lopez on Appointments to the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility Board of Trustees

          (TRENTON) – Assembly Housing Committee Chair Yvonne Lopez (D-Middlesex) issued the following statement regarding the new appointments made to the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women Board of Trustees:

“Governor Murphy’s appointments to the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women Board of Trustees is a demonstration of the Administration’s commitment to addressing the years of mismanagement, abuse, and cyclical violence that scores of inmates had to endure.

“I have had the pleasure of working with several of the appointees in developing the Dignity Act and appreciate the lived experience they will bring to the Board of Trustees. Although we have a way to go in improving Edna Mahan, I am encouraged by these appointments and know these women will work hard to lead substantive change at the facility.”
