COXSACKIE â The New York State Correctional Officer and Police Benevolent Association is calling for a lockdown at Greene Correctional Facility, citing an uptick in contraband. Security measures at the state prison have been lax during the pandemic, NYSCOPBA Mid-Hudson Vice President Chris Moreau said. In November, seven cellphones and 17 makeshift weapons including weapons of the ice pick variety and two Sawzall blades were recovered. Corrections officers also found synthetic marijuana, homemade alcohol and vials of septocaine, a local anesthetic often used in dental procedures. âWith the pandemic, the frisking, the security aspects have become a little more lax as we try to keep distance between staff and inmates,â Moreau said. âUnfortunately, that comes at the detriment of security. Itâs become quite apparent the facility is absolutely littered with contraband.â
