So letting a private company take over rikers because, let me check my notes, the literal New York government couldn't handle it?

Private prisons are worse than state run facilities. They sweep way more stuff under the rug so their statistics look better.

With all the money that NYC makes, you mean to tell me they can’t handle it so they have to privatize it? So what happens to the money they used to spend on Rikers? Going straight to Eric Adams pocket?

Rikers is a disgusting prison. I did two years and it was hell on earth. Completely horrifying to a regular civilian or even the toughest guys

Well, untrained guards abusing people create a hostile environment no one can rehabilitate in.

So violent criminals continue to act violent in jail. Sounds like the violent ones should be kept in solitary.

its due to new york city habitually violating the constitutional and human rights of its inmates. this is remarkably bad when a private company is federally ordered to relieve a goverment entity of command

Inmate Violence is high so let’s discipline officers for use of force😂😂 that’s crazy to me as a current corrections officer who has had their fair share of UOF incidents. We are getting so soft on crime and inmates, no wonder they keep coming back 🤷‍♂️

Privatizing the NYC jail system just messed up all those COs and staff pensions. That’s not going to fix anything

Why would a federal judge oversee a local government's jail? I don't think that works that way.

Liberals’ solution to crime: let’s open jails in struggling areas — like the South Bronx — and send criminals there to “help” fix the problem. Brilliant idea, right? Just what those communities need. 😝🤩

Or…IDK maybe let the US Army handle it and appoint National Guard soldiers to staff it 24/7. That would create jobs for a lot of part time soldiers hurt by NY’s economy

Correction officers are over worked and understaffed, none stop doubles, and short days off.

Create more greenery, farming and skills based rehabilitation programs on Rikers, putting positive enforcement will help those re-enstate back to society while getting a second chance.

I like how she mentions excess use of force on inmates like that the problem, not the understaffed department working in an actual zoo. Hold the inmates accountable

Biggest problem is the way overpaid corrections officers at Rikers who have also significantly abused generous sick & other time off benefits. Rikers is ridiculously expensive to operate.

Rikers is failing because of dem policy and leadership, period. Inmates can do whatever they want without repercussions. CO’s do nothing because they know if they do they’ll be reprimanded or fired. Until the dems are out of NY, nothing will change

It’s because New York gave too much power to criminals.
