Gov. Kathy Hochul has the power to close up to five more state prisons this year, and the decision on which facilities will be shuttered is expected to come soon, according to some state lawmakers. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, last week Hochul answered a reporter’s question about what conversations her administration has been having on what facilities to close, and when to announce those closures. Under the terms of this year’s state budget, the prisons will close 90 days after the public notice of closure is released.
