#3 New York State politicians not willing to spend enough to hire adequate staff? Or were they trying to protect the suffering inmates from meanie guards?

Protecting valued (captured) voters. It's getting tight out there. Got to have a place that they can get a hundred or so votes in their three week count on a close race.

#4 If Hochul can't pay the guards, the Cartels will...this is truly third world.

Good order and discipline has collapsed. The good Guards are not paid enough and they have to fight on three fronts - against inmates, bad leadership and guards bought with Cartel money, and stupid politicians. Not sure there is an easy way out of this for ole Kathy - she earned this disaster.

#6 The problem for the rest of us is when New York can't afford to incarcerate criminals, or just plain refuses to incarcerate them, and they commit crimes in other states.

#7 Cautionary observation-from CCPOA (California Correctional Peace Officer association) interactions off the record, I can tell you that staffing shortages are sometimes a desired end-state for liberal state systems with long-standing union corrections officers. Pensions in CA, (and others with similar unionized systems) I suspect, are based on "high-one" annual salaries. Overtime is counted in that computation, so you often get systems where last year individuals game the system, with fellow-union partners, to get massive amounts of overtime at the back-end of their careers, to inflate pension amounts. (I recall from many years past a rumored Oakland bus-driver in a similar system, whose last year payroll exceeded 300,000 with massive overtime and whose 35 years of service (35x2%=70%) gave him a pension of 210,000 per annum.)

#8 ^ tell me why any 'civil servant' should get a retirement that is greater than the average salary of the taxpayers. If you want to increase your pension make sure the average taxpayer's income rises as well.

#9 Foks used to get the "highest of the remaining last three years." Max overtime was standard.
