New York State’s corrections department is struggling to keep striking officers on the job, as it grapples with the fallout from two high-profile inmate deaths and reports of violence at the hands of its own workers.

Seven prisoners died as thousands of corrections officers at dozens of facilities protested working conditions in wildcat strikes across the state.

The New York State Department of Corrections said the 22-year-old prisoner was housed at Mid-State Correctional Facility and died Saturday.
