The New York City Board of Corrections (BOC) has released an updated report regarding the four drug-related deaths and six suicides of inmates in NYC jails and prisons since 2021.
Findings show that those in custody were locked in cells for extended periods of time without anyone checking on them, that officers routinely failed to make their rounds, failed to administer CPR or call in an emergency upon finding people hanging, failed to properly log incidents and failed to get people to legal visits and medical appointments.
