<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 28, 2012) Two years ago, Moriah Shock Prison near Port Henry was next on the list of correctional facilities New York State wanted to close. Camp Gabriels near Saranac Lake and the Summit Shock Prison near Albany had already been shut down, and the prisons in Lyon Mountain and Ogdensburg were also on the chopping block. But the local community and Essex County officials rallied enough support to keep Moriah open. Today, 188 men live on the spartan campus, set in a former mining facility at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.Corrections officers and some inmates at Moriah Shock say the prison&apos;s program offers a fresh start to men willing to work hard. But a quarter-century after the state&apos;s &quot;shock&quot; program was created, the question of whether it really works remains unresolved.[CORRECTION: Martin Horn was misidentified earlier as former commissioner of New York&apos;s Department of Corrections. He is former commissioner of New York City&apos;s Department of Correction and Department of Probation, and headed Pennsylvania&apos;s Department of Corrections.] [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20564/20120928/special-report-a-look-inside-moriah-shock-prison">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
