Arsonist indicted in threat to kill a NY State Correction Officer at Marcy Cf.A 40-year-old State Prison Inmate accused of threatening to rape and kill a NY State Correction Officer and blow up her place of employment is scheduled for arraignment in County Court on May 13. Dennis T. Nelson was indicted April 27 on one count each of making a terroristic threat, second-degree aggravated harassment and two counts of aggravated harassment against a Correction Officer by an inmate. He is scheduled for arraignment before Judge Barry M. Donalty. The indictment said on Nov. 30, Nelson wrote a letter to a female employee in which he threatened to rape and kill the woman, and blow up the DCJS building where she worked. Nelson was an inmate at the Marcy Correctional Facility at the time. The indictment said Nelson also threw cups of his urine at Marcy Officer's on Nov. 25 and Dec. 29. Nelson is now being held in the Elmira Correctional Facility. He has been in prison since the mid-1990s, serving a 12 to 26 year sentence for third-degree arson out of Cayuga County, according to state records. Just a sample of another outstanding character that should never be paroled.

But they still need CO's to watch these people. I was watching a program last year about some max in Texas I think. All I could think of was a bunch of crazy people all together and they all want to kill each other. Why can't the state do everyone a favour. After two offenses that require prison time then the next one automatic death sentence without any appeal any to be carried out immediately.
That is another thing I can't understand. When someone is given the death sentence why aren't they shot immediately. Why do they have to be housed at all. Not killing them immediately is at least cruel behavior by the State. They are supposed to be dead. At least with Islamic Law they have to be killed in 30 days!

The expense of a Death Penalty is costly due to the appeal process. I do agree with you that some people are just so destructive they will never be released and or rehabilitated so why would we keep them alive. They have acted as an animal and even animals go bad at which time you have to put down.
The death penalty is one of those sensitive controversy subjects that will never be agreed upon.
Sense I have housed with them for a long time I see a side that the average civilian with never see or comprehend. With DNA testing today there is no reason to not utilize the death penalty especially for cop killers. As they say if one has no fear in shooting a cop they will have no fear in shooting and or killing anyone.

You'll piss off some do-gooders who feel the criminals has rights too.    That is what is wrong with our whole system and the way many think. We have given the criminals more rights then we the victims have and that is the damn truth. |

And I still can't understand why Cuomo wants to close over 1,000 beds in the State's prison system. I could easily show him how money could be saved. Do away with all the frill's in the prison's. What is this dormatory style of living in a prison. Are they supposed to be in college for CHrist's sake.

But in any event, if we don't grant Constitutional rights to criminals, soon we will not have them for ourselves. We're either a nation of laws or we are not. |

Seven emails on Tuesday and 4 emails today all concerning the release and movement to a new prison of New York State Sex Offender's. Ever since I started with the alerts I can't believe the number of sex offender's in Utica. Now I even see them on the city bus. I was always curious about this one young man say around 22 or 24 years old. Several years back I remember seeing him a few times. Then he disappeared. Just recently I saw him again and then came the email with his picture on it that he was now in jail. Haven't seen him since. He was such a friendly guy.
I read in the Utica paper that Sen. Griffo is pushing for Brittany's Law which would require that criminally violent felons must register their address just like the sex offenders. I think it is a good idea. It will alert people when one of them moves into their neighborhood

Doesn't a criminal loose his right to vote if in jail (or for good) then other rights should also be taken . It's not a five star hotel they were aiming for when they broke the law.

Chris, as far as I know if they convicted of a felony they can not vote. Not sure or positive on how long but I was under the impression it was for their life time.

It's a state issue. Here's a bit of the article in Wiki: As of 2011, only two states, Kentucky and Virginia, continue to impose a life-long denial of the right to vote to all citizens with a felony record, absent some extraordinary intervention by the Governor or state legislature.[3] However, in Kentucky, a felon's rights can now be restored after the completion of a restoration process to regain civil rights.[3] In 2007, Florida moved to restore voting rights to convicted felons.[3] In July 2005, Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack issued an executive order restoring the right to vote for all persons who have completed supervision.[3] On October 31, 2005, Iowa's Supreme Court upheld mass re-enfranchisement of ex-convicts. Nine other states disenfranchise ex-felons for various lengths of time following the completion of their probation or parole. Except Maine and Vermont, every state prohibits felons from voting while in prison.[3] |
