ELMIRA (WENY) - Correction officers at the Elmira Correctional Facility, lined the streets outside the prison Monday afternoon to protest what they say is a lack of support from the state. The C.O.'s say there's been a rise in violence within prison walls, yet they're not given the appropriate staff or resources to keep themselves safe from the prisoners.
Cars drivings down Davis street showed their support for the staff at the Elmira Correctional Facility by beeping a horn. Which is more than they say their employer, the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) does for them. "They haven't supported us one bit," says the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association (NYSCOPBA),
