A companion Bill has been introduced in the New York State Senate. This version is, yes, even worse than the one in the Assembly. 1/

NY Senate Bill 2860 expands coverage beyond correctional facilities. In this version, incarcerated males can opt into any type of facility. This, presumably, includes forensic mental health facilities. So now we are housing mentally ill incarcerated men w/ mentally ill women. 2/ 
NY Senate Bill 2860 also adds this new challenge for prison officials: They have 2 days to make a decision. One would hope this process would involve, at a minimum, reviewing criminal history, prior incarceration records, psych evals; conducting interviews. There is no way. 3/
This 2-day deadline to reach a decision, w a high burden using an unclear standard and the right of someone denied to file litigation and obtain monetary damages and attorney fees (the latter discussed re Assembly Bill linked above in this thread) = recipe for only approving. 4/
