Statement From Assembly Minority Leader Will Barclay On Correctional Facility Assaults
State corrections officers already face enormous challenges each day they show up to work. We must ensure they are not subjected to any additional hardship at the hands of those incarcerated in the facilities under their care. Sadly, policies being promulgated by the Majority Conferences in the Legislature have done more harm than good with respect to keeping our communities, our law enforcement officers and our corrections personnel safe. The Assembly Minority Conference has always stood by the men and women tasked with ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all parties within the walls of our state’s correctional facilities, and we will continue to do so through this challenging period.”
