Two prisoners died at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Westchester during the ongoing state correction officers strike, but it's unclear if staffing was a factor.

"The officers claim to be complaining about safety," said Jerome Wright, co-director of the #HALTsolitary Campaign. "They are not dying. We are."

After three days of mediation, the union representing New York corrections officers expects the state to present a formal offer to end the ongoing strik e. While details remain undisclosed, NYSCOPBA plans to share the offer with striking guards once received.
