Following a press conference with families of corrections officers, Senator Rolison and Senate Republicans have urged the full repeal of the HALT Act. They emphasize the need to restore safety and order in New York's correctional facilities.

It is our responsibility to restore safety and order in our correctional facilities, protecting those who work tirelessly to keep everyone safe. Today, alongside the families of brave corrections officers, we are making it clear that Albany must act now to repeal the HALT Act and ensure safe and humane conditions in the state’s correctional system."
Senator Rolison is a retired police officer and serves as the Ranking Member of the Senate Crime Victims, Crime and Correction Committee.
