    The week of March 8, 2010 the New York State

    Correction Officers P.B.A. (NYSCOPBA) erected


    a replica of double-bunked cell in the Capitol:
    To educate elected officials and the public on double-
    bunked cells in New York Prisons
    To alert the elected officials and the public to the dangers
    of overcrowding and double-bunking inmates

    To stop the inhumane practice of


    double-bunked inmates.

    Double-bunking inmates is :
    • A hygienic issue for the two inmates forced into
    tight living quarters
    • A privacy issue for both inmates in a small area
    • A security issue for the inmates and staff

    STOP Double-Bunking in New York Prisons!


    Currently, there are 14,982 inmates in New York state prisons
    that are forced to live in double-bunked conditions.
    Why?
    Warehousing inmates is dangerous for both staff and inmates.
