New York prison officials are sounding the alarm after drones dropped packages stuffed with cell phones, drugs and weapons into two upstate correctional facilities in less than two months — a security threat that Gov. Kathy Hochul recently moved to address with new legislation. The latest incidents occurred at Wallkill and Sing Sing prisons, where correction officers recovered contraband that had been flown into prison grounds during overnight drone flights, according to a press release by the New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association.
