On December 10, 2024, Robert Brooks, who was incarcerated in the Marcy Correctional Facility in Oneida, New York, died after an alleged assault by several state prison employees. It was one of the first times a prison altercation like this was captured on body-worn cameras and made public. With several states already deploying or planning to deploy body-worn cameras in their prisons, this incident serves as a possible inflection point for correctional practice.
