Liberty, NY – U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (NY-19) released the following statement on Governor Kathy Hochul’s decision to close the Sullivan Correctional Facility in Woodbourne:  

 "It’s disgraceful that Governor Hochul, as part of her pro-crime platform, is now closing the Sullivan County Correctional Facility with limited notice. This reckless decision not only jeopardizes the livelihoods and safety of corrections officers and staff, but also threatens the economic stability of our community. Prison closures have severe repercussions. They uproot staff, strain remaining facilities, and increase safety risk to workers and inmates due to overcrowding. Not to mention it rarely results in savings. Our community deserves far better than this irresponsible and dangerous policy from Governor Hochul."
