Establishes the crime of harassment of an employee by an incarcerated individual as a class B misdemeanor.
New York A03916 amends the penal law by adding a new section defining the crime of harassment of an employee by an incarcerated individual. This crime occurs when an incarcerated individual intentionally harasses, annoys, threatens, or alarms an employee with intent to degrade or abuse them or to gratify their sexual desire. This includes displaying or touching intimate parts in the employee's view or communicating future contact with bodily fluids. The bill also amends the correction law to specify that certain incarcerated individuals are ineligible for temporary release programs.
