New York to release prisoners in droves after prison strike: Memo

JTN:
The New York Department of Corrections plans to release prisoners en masse amid an ongoing prison strike in the Empire State, according to a memo obtained by Just the News.

Corrections officers began striking in February over forced overtime and tough working conditions, blaming a 2022 state law for their worsening situation. The strike concluded in March, but has placed considerable burdens on the prison system.

“In view of the current staffing crisis, and in order to have the appropriate balance between the safety and well-being of those working and residing in DOCCS Correctional Facilities and public safety, it is appropriate that I, as Commissioner, exercise my authority… to move individuals from the Department’s general confinement facilities, into Residential Treatment outcount status,” Commissioner Daniel Martuscello III wrote in the memo. more

  1. As long as they’re released into NY I’m OK with it.
    The “officials” in NY are as criminal as the criminals in NY.

  2. ICE and Border Patrol Should at the Prison’s exit to welcome any and all illegal immigrant detainees.
    Have transportation ready for repatriation to their home country or Nicaragua Prison.
