A bill signed into law in New York puts a 15-day limit on solitary confinement, making the state one of the first to follow rules adopted by the UN known as the Nelson Mandela Rules, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union.

The legislation, which was passed by the legislature on March 18, puts a 15-day limit on solitary confinement, making New York one of the first states to follow rules adopted by the United Nations known as the Nelson Mandela Rules, according to the New York Civil Liberties Union . It also bans solitary confinement outright for certain vulnerable populations.

The union argued that restricting the use of solitary confinement would lead to increases in violent attacks against correctional officers."The Governor should put safety first and refuse to sign this reckless piece of legislation that is only going to further jeopardize the lives of our essential Correction Officers," said Benny Boscio, the union's president, in a statement on COBA's Facebook page before Cuomo signed the bill.
