Corrections officers in New York State are continuing their strike past a midnight deadline, protesting for better working conditions, as unrest spreads across multiple prisons. In response, Governor Hochul has deployed the National Guard to restore order after several violent incidents, including an inmate uprising at Riverview prison. All visits have been canceled amid the chaos, and the state police are also involved in managing the situation. The governor has invoked a restraining order to halt the strikes, while mediation efforts are planned to address the concerns of striking officers. Additionally, the state has temporarily suspended parts of the HALT Act and offered extra overtime to entice correction workers back to their posts. The ongoing labor actions have raised significant safety concerns, with the National Guard stepping in to fill staffing gaps at various correctional facilities.
