As many as 1,100 people jailed on parole violations throughout New York will be released as the coronavirus continues to spread in the state’s prisons and jails, a spokeswoman for the state’s Department of Corrections and Community Supervision confirmed Friday.

The state prison agency did not provide a date when the parole violators would be released, but reported the release would include about 400 inmates in New York City and about 700 from the rest of the state, according to initial estimates.
