The hardworking members of AFSCME Council 82, the New York State Law Enforcement Officers Union, never quit when it comes to keeping our communities safe.

Serving as Corrections Lieutenants and Corrections Officers in state and county prisons across New York, they want to focus ensuring inmates can serve their time safely and focus on rehabilitation. Whenever policies or conditions stand in the way of them doing their job and safely returning to their families at the end of their shift, we must take action. Our efforts to keep them, and our communities, safe is what they justly deserve for the quality of services they render each and every day at great personal sacrifice.

Safer Prisons New York is a campaign of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
