Thank you to New York Focus and Chris Gelardi for shining a light on the inhumane conditions and brutality of contraband-watch rooms in NYS prisons. What happened to my client Jayquan Griffin and so many others, is not grounded in “security protocol”…it is torture and reflects systemic failures and violations of human dignity and human rights, for which DOCCS must once again be held to account. https://nysfocus.com/2026/08/17/new-york-prisons-contraband-watch-rooms
