Council Member Joseph Borelli (R – South Shore) is working with Verizon over constituent concerns relating to 911 calls placed on the south shore of Staten Island. Earlier this month, Borelli’s district office had fielded an inquiry from a constituent that was involved in a car accident in Tottenville; when the constituent called 911 to report it, the call was routed to 911 dispatchers in New Jersey, potentially delaying the response time and adding a layer of confusion to an already stressful situation.

Councilman Joseph Borelli (R – South Shore) and Minority Leader Steve Matteo (R – Mid Island) have written to the Board of Corrections in support of Department of Corrections Commissioner Ponte’s plan to delay the ban on solitary confinement for inmates ages 18-21. Additionally, they are asking the Board to wholly reconsider the ban, and to instead reform punitive confinement policy in a way which achieves reduction goals but preserves the ability of the Department of Corrections to utilize solitary confinement for the system’s most violent and non-compliant prisoners.
