Lawmakers and advocates gathered outside the Queensboro Correctional Facility in Long Island City on Tuesday to condemn a directive from the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision that would limit the package delivery rights of inmates.
Under the new directive, families can no longer directly send care packages, home-cooked meals, fresh fruits or some religious items to their incarcerated loved ones.
