NYS Senator Dean Murray Addresses Releasing Felons Early Due to the Corrections Officer Shortage

NYS Senator Dean Murray addresses the Governor's decision to release convicted felons early due to the corrections officer shortage. Corrections officers were already short-handed when the Governor fired 2,000 trained corrections officers, refused to negotiate with NYS employees and provide them with basic safety on the job. Now the response to the staff shortage is to release convicted felons. This decision will make New York less safe.
