On Tuesday November 29th in the freezing cold, people formerly incarcerated, family members, advocates and elected officials gathered to implore, to demand that NYS Governor Kathy Hochul rescind the package ban which has been in effect since August. DOCCS Directive #4911A. This severely limits the package delivery rights of incarcerated individuals and their families. It eliminates in-person deliveries, and families can no longer directly send care packages, home-cooked meals, fresh fruits, or particular religious items to their incarcerated loved ones.
