Re: Rikers Island why it should be shut down

OK.

Giant holding cell

Are local jails anything else?

Underfunded

Why not spend the money on fixing it rather than replacing it? Isn't fixing cheaper?

Dangerous

Not fixable for far less money than a replacement?

harder for criminals to communicate

Isn't Rikers lots of individual buildings? If you have lots of smaller jails would they be smaller than an individual Rikers building?

Better court system

Isn't that a different issue which needs its own money and can be done independently of Rikers?

low level offenders

How is a smaller jail with the same unsaintly people as fellow prisoners any different?

I wouldn't mind spending tax dollars for making the system better. I'm just not seeing how the extra dollars would help.
