NY S06277

Adds a new subdivision to Correction Law Section 500-a authorizing the Monroe County jail to be used for detention of persons under arrest awaiting arraignment in any court located in Monroe County.

Amends Correction Law Section 500-c to apply all its provisions to Monroe County sheriffs holding persons under arrest for pre-arraignment detention, treating such persons as if they were judicially committed to the sheriff's custody.

Allows persons held for arraignment (prior to commitment) to be housed in the Monroe County jail under the same conditions as judicially committed individuals.

Takes effect immediately upon enactment, though the Section 500-c amendment is set to be repealed along with that section.
