'We are dealing with systemic challenges that have been in place and were just ignored for a decade': Part two of amNewYork Metro's exclusive interview with Department of Correction Commissioner Louis Molina.
of amNewYork Metro’s exclusive interview with Department of Correction Commissioner Louis Molina, the ex-marine and New York City Police Department detective revealed that he spent his first year at DOC working to motivate prisoners while also addressing a dangerously low staffing crisis — but those weren’t the only issues plaguing the system, he said.
Even with quality-of-life improvements, DOC faced one of its deadliest years on record in 2022, in which 19 people died in the department’s custody. This sparked outrage from the public in forms of rallies and protests across the five boroughs, and outside of City Hall. “What we found was that a majority were refusing, and they’re refusing for a number of reasons,” the commissioner continued. “They might be refusing because the experience of waiting for medical services is unpleasant. They might refuse because it’s in conflict with a court date. They might refuse because their loved one is visiting that day.
“We reinstituted tactical search operations. In 2021, under the former administration, they only had one [search] that year,” Molina explained. “In 2022, we had over 80. So, with the increase of tactical search operations and facility level search operations, we have removed over 5,000 contraband weapons from the facilities and over 1,300 contraband narcotics, narcotics paraphernalia.
