## Summary

**Solidarity with New York corrections officers** is the central aim of this House resolution. It would spotlight safety, staffing, and discipline problems inside New York prisons. - Would express congressional support for officers striking over dangerous working conditions and widespread mandatory overtime. It highlights staffing declines from 16,305 officers in 2022 to 13,886 in 2025. - Would document a sharp rise in assaults against staff, citing 2,070 such assaults in 2024 and an 85 percent increase since 2019. It also notes the state's temporary actions of confining officers inside facilities and ordering 24-hour inmate lockdowns. - Would condemn Governor Kathy Hochul's handling of the strike and urge the New York State Legislature to repeal the HALT Act, which the resolution says limited officers' disciplinary tools.
