NYSCOPBA leadership held a press conference Wednesday to demand Cuomo and The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to put a hold on any future prison closures

Officials with NYSCOPBA say a Correctional Officer was exposed to the drugs while investigating a suspicious letter that was sent to an inmate.

One thing that remains the same during the course of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the amount of drugs being smuggled into New York State Prisons.

Just because the prisons are riddled with COVID-19 cases doesn't mean the usual difficulties for Correctional Officers cease.

A New York State Correctional Officer was told to remove his "Keep America Great Trump 2020" banner from his truck while parked in an employee parking lot.

While visitation to nursing homes and some hospitals is still suspended, New York State is allowing inmate visitation at its prisons.

NYSCOPBA representative Bryan Hluska says over the past two months several packages were received in the mail containing synthetic marijuana and Suboxone.

Multiple State Correctional Officers are recovering from injuries sustained in two separate attacks at the Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy.

Multiple makeshift weapons were discovered by Correctional Officers following a series of inmate on inmate fights that broke out Sunday afternoon at Mohawk Correctional Facility.

NYSCOPBA Central Region VP Bryan Hluska confirmed 18 cases at the Marcy Correctional Facility.

The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has responded to concerns from union members over COVID-19 in the prison system.
