“Solitary confinement doesn’t exist in reality, and by definition, it doesn’t exist in this state or any state in the country,” Powers said. “When you’re dealing with individuals that don’t subscribe or get along in the rehabilitation system, it’s not different than society.”
The new law will also, among other things, ban the use of solitary confinement for pregnant individuals, those living with certain disabilities, and anyone under the age of 22 and older than 54.
Chris Moreau, NYSCOPBA’s vice president for the Mid-Hudson region, said they’re particularly concerned about the law’s ban on solitary confinement for ages 18 to 21.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The owners of the Skyline apartment building cut back on Syracuse police patrols three weeks after an elderly woman was found murdered at the complex, and they plan to end patrols by off-duty sheriff’s deputies this week.
As of April 5, the Skyline’s owners stopped paying for a daily Syracuse police presence at the 365-unit complex, opting instead to cut patrols to four days a week, according to police spokesman Sgt. Matthew Malinowski. The owners’ decision happened “despite the city’s recommendation,” Malinowski said.
