Nearly 2 dozen female NYS correction officers recently attended a meeting of the New York State Legislative Women's Caucus to explain how the HALT Act has negatively impacted them. These brave women of NYSCOPBA need to be protected from sexual harassment and sexual assault too. #repealHALT

At what point will New York Senate Dems NY Assembly Majority admit HALT did not make NY prisons safer? We have over a year's worth of state-tracked data and countless real life examples where those emboldened by the HALT Act attack staff and inmates alike with no repercussions. #repealHALT

To continue to use decades-old personal stories to describe what modern-day conditions in a Special Housing Unit are like is deliberately misleading. The state data tells the real story, violence in prisons spiked the day HALT was implemented and hasn't wavered since. #repealHALT

"As we approach the summer months and the warmer weather, there will no doubt be more incidents like the gang violence that occurred at Coxsackie last week." - NYSCOPBA MidHudson Region VP Chris Moreau. State data shows a 71% increase in 5-person fights in NYS prisons since HALT

Proud to stand w/ NYSCOPBA PR to push for needed changes & bills that’ll address violence that corrections officers and civilian staff are subjected to at facilities across the state. Flawed policies like the HALT Act have created dangerous working conditions.

Met w/ NYSCOPBA PR about S5506, which would make sexual crimes against correctional officers a felony crime. Correction officers must be safe in their workplace & there must be accountability. I admire the courage of the survivors to advocate for a better and more just system.

“The weapon seized last week by staff @ Coxsackie easily could have been used as a deadly weapon if it got into the hands of an inmate. Thankfully, staff do an excellent job processing visitors & recovering weapons & drugs that they attempt to smuggle into inmates"-Chris Moreau
