DOC Summer 2025 Heat Action Plan

The New York City Department of Correction is committed to maintaining the safety and well-being of all individuals in custody and all staff who work in our facilities. The Department takes steps throughout the year to prepare for the summer heat and ensure that plans are in place for heatwaves. In May 2025, the department activated our annual heat action plan. The majority of the Department’s facilities are partially air-conditioned, with two facilities being fully air-conditioned.
