There are calls for lockdown at one upstate New York prison and a reversal of state policy as record violence continues at facilities statewide.

The Vice President of NYSCOPBA, the union representing many of Upstate New York's correctional officers, is blasting state representatives following injuries to several COs after two separate incidents upstate this week.

A fire in the Residential Mental Health Unit at Marcy Correctional on May 11, 2022 is being called the worst in the site's history.

Hluska says the inmates get moved to remaining prisons based on classification - medium, maximum and minimum security. The prison guards, however, face a less certain future.

Several Correctional Officers were injured as a result of an attack by an inmate at Mohawk Correctional Facility.

I wish to start off by saying I appreciate you men and women who get locked inside a prison for the entirety of your work shift. I am talking about New York State Correctional Officers.

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.

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.
