ALBANY – Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, more than $1 million to expand the use of Cellsense technology to all 54 state prisons and strengthen the efforts of the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to crack down on contraband and weapons inside these facilities. Cellsense devices are state-of-the-art portable detection systems used to conduct full-body searches of inmates and screen mail, laundry, mattresses and other inmate property. Since April, they have been placed in 48 of New York State’s 54 state prisons, with the remaining facilities to receive them by year’s end. “This new technology will better detect contraband and serve as a deterrent to illicit activity in New York’s prisons, helping to protect the health and safety of correction officers and inmates,” Governor Cuomo said. “We will continue to ensure our correctional system has access to the resources and the tools they need to improve the safety and security of our facilities.” Read More. |
