Dolphins draft Maryland DT Jordan Phillips in Round 5
Dolphins draft Maryland DT Jordan Phillips in Round 5 The Miami Dolphins continued their commitment to the trenches by selecting Maryland defensive tackle Jordan Phillips with the No. 143 overall pick in Round 5 of the 2025 NFL draft. Phillips weighed in at 6'2, 312 pounds at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. In two seasons with the Terrapins, the lineman recorded 2.5 tackles for loss. The Dolphins entered the draft with a significant need for defensive linemen following the departures of both Calais Campbell and Da'Shawn Hand in free agency. Left on the roster were starters Zach Sieler and Benito Jones, along with a pair of backups -- Neil Farrell and Matt Dickerson -- who spent much of 2024 on the team's practice squad. Earlier in the draft, the Dolphins added defensive tackle Kenneth Grant in Round 1 and offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 3. The team still has three more selections in the draft, beginning with the No. 150 overall selection.

Prison strikes continue into second day, more prisons involved
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Strikes involving corrections officers at several Western New York prisons are continuing for a second day, while more prisons became involved Tuesday. Corrections officers at Collins Correctional Facility are striking for a second day on Tuesday, while officers at the maximum security Attica Correctional Facility as well as Wende Correctional Facility began striking Tuesday. Officers striking outside of Collins Correctional Facility There are also corrections officers picketing at a facility in Elmira and at Groveland Correctional in Livingston County, with staff at the facilities refusing to enter for their shifts. The New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association said that Monday the job action 'was not in any way sanctioned by NYSCOPBA.' However, union members are calling it a strike and admit they are breaking state law by doing so. State law prohibits public employees from striking, which can lead to fines and other discipline. Prison guards are demanding mandated body scans for visitors, scans of incoming mail to inmates, a $5,000 bonus for new employees and no overtime mandates over 16 hours, according to the union. They also wish to reverse the Humane Alternatives to Long-Term Solitary Confinement (HALT) act. 'We're not out here for money. That's not what this is about,' said Jordan Phillips, a corrections officer at Wende. 'We want to be safe, we want the civilian staff to be safe, and we want the incarcerated individual to be safe. We aren't being provided with the proper tools and the proper staff to ensure that drugs of weapons getting into this facility is not possible.' The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DOCCS) said in a statement that the 'job actions initiated by some rogue NYSCOPBA members' are 'illegal and unlawful.' 'They cannot work in those conditions. It's unacceptable,' said Jenna Cowtun, a former Attica officer who showed up on Tuesday. 'Albany knows that. Albany has known that for years and they have let what happened happen. These guys are risking their jobs and their lives.' 'Since Commissioner [Daniel] Martuscello took office, the State negotiated a new labor agreement with NYSCOPBA that includes yearly salary increases, increases in location pay, and paid parental leave,' DOCCS said. 'We have also instituted new policies and procedures to reduce the amount of contraband entering our facilities to increase the safety of all within our facilities. We value our employees and are dedicated to continuing the recruiting efforts to increase security staffing in all DOCCS correctional facilities to restore the important work life balance for all.' In its most recent audit reports conducted by the state, Attica Correctional had a population of over 1,600 in June 2023, Collins Correctional had a population of just over 900 in November 2022 and Wende Correctional Facility had a population of just over 750 in 2019.
