State inmates who refuse to give
blood for DNA sampling now face solitary confinement.
The new rule grew out of a 1999

crimes.
DNA samples have been taken from
about 26,000 of the 70,000 convicts in state prisons,

Thomas Terrizzi said he believes solitary confinement is already overused.
Since 1994, New York has required
samples from people convicted of the most violent felonies, like murder,

attempted murder, sodomy, witness intimidation or criminal use of a firearm.
