- Mid-Orange Correctional Facility
-
Mid-Orange Correctional Facility is a prison in the final stages of being emptied and closed (August 2011). It is located in Orange County, New York. It is an all-male facility, and a medium security prison. The facility is located in the town of Warwick, and is northeast of the village of Warwick on Kings Highway.
This facility was involved in a controversial case in which a correctional officer, Christopher Nuttall, started taking in cats left astray in the area. In collaboration with inmates, he cared for the cats and fed them. He was suspended and later fired on charges of "contraband and collaboration with inmates". Two months later, he was hired again, with the assistance of Council 82 (statewide correction officers union).
