Going forward, visitors to the Sing Sing Correctional Facility will no longer be able to bring the fresh produce inside, and additional restrictions are being placed on packages that incarcerated people can receive.
Going forward, incarcerated people can only get two packages a year — and those must be delivered through the mail, not in person. Any food must be sent through a third party vendor. It will have a big impact on incarcerated people’s ability to eat fresh and specialty food. For their loved ones, it will mean higher costs and more complications, they say.

In the first half of 2021, officials found 577 packages concealing contraband, suggesting another record year occurred. The statement pointed out that contraband that is not confiscated can further lead to violence and drug issues.arrowAlec Hamilton / Gothamistdrugs and weapons discovered in state prisons has dropped from 5,837 to 5,475 between 2019 and 2020. Items listed as weapons include things like toothbrushes and can lids, which may or may not have been intended for violence.

He said DOCCS won’t provide his office with any data to back up their claims of contraband coming in through packages in increasing amounts. He and State Senator Julia Salazar“The packages you send are already subject to multiple types of screening and searches. In fact, my office is constantly in contact with incarcerated individuals and their families regarding missing items from care packages.
Wilson pointed out that if DOCCS is finding more contraband in packages, that’s evidence the system works — the contraband was found. He said a package serves as a reminder that someone outside cares for you: “It creates a more humanistic component. You get to embrace your humanity.”
