Robert Brooks, an inmate at the **Marcy Correctional Facility**, died last month, igniting criticism of inmate brutality.
Inmates, like **Frederick Williams**, allege **physical violence** from corrections officers and describe the facility as being "**run by a mob**."
Following Brooks' death, New York Governor **Kathy Hochul** pledged to appoint a new superintendent and address issues of violence within the prison.
The **Correctional Association of New York** indicated that Marcy has a history of **violence and intimidation** against inmates, highlighting a culture of abuse.
Changes proposed include **body cameras** and increased oversight; however, advocates argue profound cultural change in corrections is necessary for real progress.
