Inmate at Albion Correctional who assaulted CO gets more time in prison

ALBION – A woman who was incarcerated at the Albion Correctional Facility was sentenced to more time in state prison today for allegedly assaulting a corrections officer.

Caitlyn Jacobs, 34, was charged with second-degree assault, which was reduced to attempted assault in the second degree as part of a plea agreement.

She was sentenced this morning to another 1 ½ to 3 years in state prison by Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church.

Jacobs has been moved to the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility where she is finishing a 5-year sentence for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree. She was convicted of those charges in Cayuga County in October 2022.

In another case today, Judge Church sentenced Erika Poole, 44, of Medina to time already served and a conditional discharge to stay away from controlled substances for a year.

Poole pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree.

Poole admitted to having cocaine on Nov. 10, 2022. She has a credit of 92 days in jail and won’t need to do additional time. She also was ordered to pay $250 in court charges.
