February 19, 2025
“Under the governor’s administration, New York’s correctional officers have endured some of the most dangerous and demanding working conditions in the state. Chronic understaffing has led to mandatory 24-hour shifts, putting both officers and inmates at risk. The safety concerns expressed by correctional officers cannot be ignored. The governor must immediately address the horrendous conditions these brave men and women face every day inside our correctional facilities.”
