Prisons in Dutchess County spent more than $11 million in overtime in the first five months of the year, with each of the three prisons ranking among the leaders in the state in overtime hours. Through June 11, Green Haven Correctional Facility in Stormville had $3,931,572 in overtime, according to state-produced data obtained by the Poughkeepsie Journal under the Freedom of Information Law. Fishkill Correctional Facility in Beacon had $3,728,025 in overtime and Downstate Correctional Facility in the Town of Fishkill had $3,702,960. Between the three facilities, more than 360 employees each made more than $10,000 in overtime in the first 23 weeks of 2015. New York's prison overtime bill reached $74,579,255 through June 11.
