NYC Department of Correction Commissioner Cynthia Brann to step down: union

NYC Department of Correction Commissioner Cynthia Brann is set to resign by the end of the month, according to the union representing the city’s correction officers.

Brann, who has served as commissioner for three-and-a-half years, is expected to work her last day in the role on May 31, according to the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association. Union president Benny Boscio issued a blistering statement early Tuesday, blasting the violence in city jails during Brann’s tenure and what he described as “gross mismanagement.”
