The City Council is poised to approve a bill Wednesday that would ban the use of solitary confinement in city jails, but some Department of Correction employees fear the move may jeopardize their own safety.

Department of Correction Officer Antoinette Anderson appeared on “Mornings On 1” Tuesday ahead of the council’s vote, saying she believes city lawmakers are prioritizing detainees over correction officers.

“We all deserve to be safe — not just the detainees, us as well. We come to do our job. We don’t come to be sexually assaulted, or assaulted, period,” she said.

Anderson said she has experienced sexual harassment in the workplace and has needed to use solitary confinement to keep herself and other female officers safe.

“Within the last three years, we had over 50 female correctional officers sexually assaulted. Those violent individuals belong in punitive segregation,” she said.

The bill would prohibit the use of solitary confinement, but would allow the Department of Correction to isolate detainees for up to four hours at a time in so-called “deescalation units,” if they pose a risk of harm to themselves or others.

Proponents of the legislation, including Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, have said the use of solitary confinement is a type of “cruel and unusual punishment of isolation.”

City Hall has said city jails do not use a traditional type of solitary confinement, but there are other types of restrictive housing units for violent detainees on Rikers Island, where detainees can be kept in a cell for up to 17 hours a day. Advocates have also previously accused the DOC of operating other units that are more restrictive.

While the legislation appears to have veto-proof support in the City Council, Mayor Eric Adams has voiced opposition to it, saying, “I don't like the bills and we're going to continue to talk to council members.”

Meanwhile, Anderson said she is calling for council members to vote “no” on the bill.

“If I'm sexually assaulted at work, the individual be removed for four hours on a time out. He is then released back into the housing area to perform that same violent act on another female correctional officer or attack an individual that is there to do their time,” she said. “We need help. We cannot perform our job this way. There is no type of accountability.”
