One of the important components of this plan was the grouping of correctional facilities by geographical proximity into administrative regions. These administrative regions, referred to as Hubs, are groups of neighboring facilities that share administrative support and program services. Each Hub has a core facility at which inmates are received and from which inmate movement and other administrative service delivery functions are controlled. Purpose of the Report The sections of this report profile the inmate population in each Hub as well as the population at each of the correctional facilities within the Hub. These profiles contain information on demographic characteristics and on other variables. These data will familiarize staff at each Hub with the overall characteristics of inmates in the Hub population as well as with differences in the characteristics of the inmate population at each of the respective facilities in the Hub. This information permits comparisons with the characteristics of the inmate population between the different Hubs. The report serves as a profile of the under custody population at the beginning of the year 2007. In the tables and graphs presented in the report each Hub is identified by the administrative facility for that Hub. Staff often refer to each Hub by the administrative facility for that Hub. Appendix A presents a map showing the nine regional Hubs and the correctional facilities within each. - 2 - Section One DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS Gender Distribution There were 63,304 inmates under custody on January 1, 2007, of whom 60,445 (95.5%) were men and 2,859 (4.5%) were women (see Table 1). Female inmates retained the same proportion of the total population in January 2007 (4.5%) when compared with January 2006 (4.5%) . The inmate population increased by 572, an increase of 0.9 percent since January 1, 2006. Male inmates increased by 575, an increase of 0.9 percent of the male inmate population. Female inmates increased by 57 or 2.0 percent of the female population. Females are incarcerated in three of the nine Hubs. For these three, the percentage of a Hub's total population that consists of women ranges from 5.9% in the New York City Hub to 21.9% in the Green Haven Hub (see Table 1 and Figure 1).

  • Department of Correctional Services
    DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES MISSION The Department of Correctional Services (DOCS) is responsible for the secure confinement of convicted felons and the preparation of these individuals for successful reintegration into the community upon release. ORGANIZATION AND STAFFING The Department, headed by a Commissioner, will have approximately 31,600 employees to operate 71 facilities. Each correctional facility is headed by a Superintendent and executive staff to oversee the daily operation of the nation’s fourth largest state prison system. FISCAL BACKGROUND AND BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The budget recommendations for the Department of Correctional Services continue to reflect a reduced demand for prison space after two decades of capacity expansion. This reversal of the historical trend is the result of several factors, including a decline in the statewide number of felony arrests and the success of initiatives (such as Shock Incarceration, the Willard Drug Treatment Campus and the Merit Time Program) designed to reduce the number of non-violent offenders in prison. As a result, the Department will phase out additional beds currently in use in the prison system. It is important to note that the reduction in demand for prison space is for medium-security and minimum-security housing. Over the past six years, penalties for violent crime have increased significantly in New York State. Jenna’s Law, enacted in August 1998, together with Truth-in-Sentencing legislation enacted in 1995, ensure that violent offenders will serve 85 percent of their sentence in prison. The reduction in local assistance funding reflects the ability of the Agency to move State-ready prisoners from local jails to State prison in a timely manner due to the availability of State prison capacity.

  • Chapter 26: Infectious Diseases: AIDS, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, and MRSA
    CHAPTER 26 INFECTIOUS DISEASES: AIDS, HEPATITIS, TUBERCULOSIS, AND MRSA IN PRISONS* A. Introduction This Chapter explains your legal rights with respect to infectious diseases in prison. This Chapter has information both for incarcerated people who already have an infectious disease (like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)), and for incarcerated people who want to avoid getting an infectious disease. Part B gives you some basic facts about infectious diseases. Section (1)(a) of Part B also describes how women may have different symptoms of HIV/AIDS than men. Part C explains the general standard used to determine whether a prison policy is constitutional. Part D is about medical testing for infectious diseases in prisons, including whether a prison can force you to get tested or have others tested. Part E discusses disease prevention and segregation issues. Part F discusses the role of confidentiality and what you can expect in terms of keeping your health status private in prison. Part G deals with treatment options and your legal rights to those options. Part H discusses issues relating to discrimination. Part I discusses sentencing issues. Part J discusses planning for your release if you have an infectious disease. Finally, Appendix A lists resources for further information, counseling, and support for you and your family. You should also read other chapters of the JLM to understand your legal rights, especially Chapter 16, “Using 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to Obtain Relief From Violations of Federal Law,” Chapter 36, “Special Considerations for Sex Offenders,” Chapter 28, “Rights of Prisoners with Disabilities,” Chapter 23, “Your Right to Adequate Medical Care,” and Chapter 35, “Getting Out Early: Conditional & Early Release.” There are more court cases about HIV/AIDS than about the other diseases discussed in this Chapter.
