The Department of Correction, without warning, has stopped notifying the public and the media when an incarcerated person dies behind bars.
Usually when a detainee dies, a release is sent out by the department of correction with that person’s name, housing facility and time of death.
Over the past two years, the Department of Correction has sent out a press release announcing when someone has died inside the city’s jails. "To me it says that you don't value the humanity of the people in your custody sufficiently even to report honestly when they die in your care," Lander said. However, a recent special report from the federal monitor appointed to oversee the city’s handling of its jails, blasted the department for failing to notify their team as well about at least one death and numerous beatings, as the monitor said they are required to do.
