Brickbat: Overcorrection

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has ordered the state corrections department to fire 14 workers after the fatal beating of an inmate at the Marcy Correctional Facility. State Attorney General Letitia James said her office is also investigating the death of Robert Brooks, who had been serving a 12-year prison sentence for first-degree assault since 2017. Officials did not release the names of the employees or describe the circumstances of the attack.
