No Family contact in NY prisons

This facility has just enforced an unconstitutional (8th, 14th Amendments) policy. This facility does not allow prisoners to hold their children during the visiting hours. This policy is in direct violation of the Directives. Due to your organizations concern for prisoners, I only ask for a simple solution.

Can you please call this number and express your complaint that the policy being enforced by the staff at Great Meadow Correctional Facility is unconstitutional and in violation of Directives.

Phone: (518) 457-1993 - this is the number for visiting room related Complaints.

This type of action should not be tolerated, it's a further form of breaking bondage with family, slave trade tactics!
