New York State Lawmakers Propose Mandatory Body Scans for Corrections Officers to Combat Contraband
New York state lawmakers, led by Senator Julia Salazar, have introduced a bill requiring corrections officers to undergo random full-body scans before entering prisons. This measure aims to reduce contraband like drugs and weapons, following a series of incidents including two inmate deaths and a three-week strike. The proposal also allows visitors who fail a scan to retake it, addressing concerns about false alarms. The corrections department supports body scanners, while the officers union backs wider use. Meanwhile, Republicans propose loosening solitary confinement restrictions, and Governor Hochul plans to review it for safety.
