NYC jail rules to remove 'inmate' term
The New York City Board of Correction is updating its regulations to replace the term "inmate" with "person in custody" as part of an effort to use person-first language, reflecting the belief that incarceration should not define individuals. This change builds on previous initiatives to modernize terminology across city regulations, aligning with broader criminal justice reform efforts. The revisions aim to better reflect the city's philosophy that people should not be solely identified by their incarceration status.
