Dozens of correctional facilities canceled prison visits one day after New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order to provide National Guard members to provide extra security.

DOCCS had restricted visitation rights at only a handful of facilities, including Elmira, Attica, Upstate, Clinton, and Green Haven correctional facilities, to name a few.

The New York state prison system is teetering on disaster as guards have staged an unsanctioned wildcat strike at almost all of its 42 facilities. Governor Kathy Hochul has deployed the National Guard and, on Wednesday, obtained a court order mandating that corrections officers return to work.
