Simpson Calls for Swift Accountability Following Disturbing Correctional Facility Incident

A Statement From Assemblyman Matt Simpson

“The events at Marcy Correctional Facility are deeply sickening, and the violent actions leading to Robert Brooks’ death cannot be tolerated. While this horrific incident justifiably outrages New Yorkers, we must remember that this incident does not reflect the bravery and dedication of the vast majority of correctional officers who risk their lives daily to maintain safety and order in our prisons,” said Simpson.

“Those responsible for this tragedy must be held fully accountable to maintain trust and safety within our correctional system. I stand committed to ensuring that justice is served while supporting our hardworking correctional staff who uphold their duty with honor and integrity,” Simpson concluded.
