  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Subdivision 4 of section 137  of  the  correction  law,  as
added by chapter 476 of the laws of 1970, is amended to read as follows:
  4.  Whenever there shall be a sufficient number of cells or rooms in a
correctional facility, each inmate  shall  be  given  sleeping  accommo-
dations  in  a  separate  cell  or room, provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed so as to  limit  the  right  of  the
department  to  utilize dormitory-type accommodations where necessary or
where appropriate to a program of treatment. TO THE EXTENT  PRACTICABLE,
SUCH  CELLS,  ROOMS  AND DORMITORIES SHALL BE PLUMBED TO PROVIDE INMATES
HOT WATER.
  S 2. Subdivision 2 of section 171 of the correction law, as amended by
chapter 364 of the laws of 1983, is amended to read as follows:
  2. Such labor shall be either for the purpose  of  the  production  of
supplies  for  said  institutions,  or  for  the state, or any political
subdivision thereof, or for any public institution owned or managed  and
controlled  by  the  state, or any political subdivision thereof; or for
the purpose of industrial training and instruction, or partly  for  one,
and  partly  for  the other of such purposes. WHERE PRACTICABLE, INMATES
SHALL BE PROVIDED VOCATIONAL TRAINING TO INSTALL SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS
TO PROVIDE HOT WATER TO CELLS, ROOMS AND  DORMITORIES  LACKING  IN  SUCH

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
