Assemblyman Jones calls for limiting visitation to New York Correctional Facilities

Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, I am calling on the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to follow the same course as institutions across the state and temporarily suspend visitation practices to our State Correctional facilities. This will ensure that we protect the well-being of correctional officers, civilian staff, inmates and their family members.

To ensure that we take steps to limit the spread of COVID-19, we must take sensible safety precautions. Several states across our nation have taken similar action, and I believe it is time for New York to do so as well. Therefore, I am respectfully requesting that for the time being, we limit visitation until further notice in facilities across the state until it is determined that this virus is no longer a threat. I am in constant contact with state agencies to ensure this happens.
