IN THESE THREE CASES, CONFINING LEVEL THREE SEX OFFENDERS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE FROM PRISON UNTIL COMPLIANT HOUSING IS AVAILABLE WAS NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Fahey, over two separate dissenting opinions, determined, in the three cases before the court, confining level three sex offenders who are eligible for release from prison until compliant housing is available was not a constitutional violation:

In these appeals, we consider constitutional challenges to the practice of temporarily confining level three sex offenders in correctional facilities, after the time they would otherwise be released to parole or postrelease supervision (PRS), while they remain on a waiting list for accommodation at a shelter compliant with Executive Law § 259-c (14). In each case, we conclude that there was no constitutional violation. People ex rel. Johnson v Superintendent, Adirondack Corr. Facility, 2020 NY Slip Op 06934, CtApp 11-23-20
