Hundreds of correction officers and their supporters rallied at the state Capitol on Tuesday after two straight weeks of statewide unsanctioned strikes.

Officers have been on the picket lines fighting for what they say are fair working conditions, including repealing the Halt Act. That law limits how much time inmates can spend in solitary confinement.

The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has sent a letter to striking corrections officers saying they will be terminated. The letter was sent to staff who have missed 11 consecutive shifts. They are also losing health insurance.
