Kathy Hochul calls for ousting of correction officers and nurse allegedly involved in death of Robert Brooks, 43

The New York governor, Kathy Hochul, has directed 14 workers at a state prison to be fired after they were allegedly involved in an attack that resulted in the death of an incarcerated man.

Robert Brooks, 43, died in a local hospital a day after a 9 December incident at the Marcy correctional facility in central New York.

    there is a very good reason and that is the fact that everything is very much not above board and those with the power to ensure it is have no incentive to do so.

    (I think it’s a good idea but we need to start with some oversight and change the fact that inmate workers don’t have any protections (like OSHA doesn’t apply for example) and a million and one other things too)
