Alabama State Funded Drug Rehabilitation

The New York State Department of Correctional Services or NYSDOCS is the agency of New York State responsible for the care, confinement, and rehabilitation of approximately 63,000 inmates at 71 correctional facilities funded by the State of New York. The department employs approximately 31,300 workers, including approximately 23,000 uniformed correction officers. Currently, this is the 4th largest state prison system in the United States.

The Commissioner is currently Brian Fischer.

The Departmental Mission

The mission of NYSDOCS is to provide for public protection by administering a network of correctional facilities that:

• Retain inmates in safe custody until released by law;
• Offer inmates an opportunity to improve their employment potential and their ability to function in a non-criminal fashion;
• Offer staff a variety of opportunities for career enrichment and advancement; and,
• Offer stable and humane "community" environments in which all participants, staff and inmates, can perform their required tasks with a sense of satisfaction.

History

The New York State prison system had its beginnings in 1797 with a single prison called Newgate located in New York City. A second state prison opened 20 years later in Auburn in 1817, and in 1825 a group of Auburn prisoners made the voyage across the Erie Canal and down the Hudson River to begin building Sing Sing.

Correction Officer Training

Correction Officer Trainees with the New York State Department of Correctional Services are required to participate in, and satisfactorily complete, all requirements of a 12-month training program before they can advance to the position of Correction Officer. As part of this program, Correction Officer Trainees are required to attend the Correctional Services Training Academy for a minimum of eight weeks of formal training. Training at the academy includes academic courses in such areas as emergency response procedures, interpersonal communications, legal rights and responsibilities, security procedures, and concepts and issues in corrections. While at the academy, Correction Officer Trainees will be trained in defensive tactics, use of handcuffs and other physical restraints, use of a baton, use of chemical agents, use of firearms and use of physical and deadly physical force. Correction Officer Trainees will also receive rigorous physical training to develop fitness, strength and stamina while attending the academy. Upon graduating from the academy Correction Officer Trainees are sworn in as New York State Peace Officers and are issued their shield and identification card. After graduating from the academy, Correction Officer Trainees will receive three weeks of field training at a maximum security correctional facility.
