在监狱袭击和人员短缺之后,纽约共和党人大力扩大单独监禁。 NY Republicans push to expand solitary confinement after prison attack and staff shortage.

2026年3月16日,纽约共和党人提出立法,扩大州监狱的单独监禁资格,理由是Lakeview设施发生暴力袭击后的安全关切,22天罢工后工作人员持续短缺。 New York Republicans introduced legislation on March 16, 2026, to expand solitary confinement eligibility in state prisons, citing safety concerns after a violent attack at Lakeview facility and ongoing staff shortages following a 22-day strike. 该法案在狱警工会的支持下,将允许对暴力行为、暴乱、越狱和性行为不端更长期、更广泛地使用隔离,并给予惩教署在管理囚犯和制定方案方面更大的灵活性。 The bill, backed by correction officers’ unions, would allow longer and broader use of segregation for violent conduct, riots, escapes, and sexual misconduct, and grant DOCCS more flexibility in managing inmates and programming. 改革倡导者和民主立法者反对这一举动,指出监狱死亡、虐待指控和现有的违反《HALT法》行为不断增加。 Reform advocates and Democratic lawmakers oppose the move, pointing to rising prison deaths, abuse allegations, and existing HALT Act violations. 双方同意这个制度是打破的,但对于放松限制或加强康复是解决办法,意见不一。 Both sides agree the system is broken but differ on whether easing restrictions or strengthening rehabilitation is the solution.
