Closing Rikers doesn't do any thing to solve problems with NYC's jail system (long wait till trial, dangerous, inefficiency etc) if the system and management doesn't change they're just moving the problems from one place to another. 2. Rikers in a perfect location. It's isolated no NIMBYism. Lets be honest no one wants a jail in their neighborhood. What needs to happen is an overhaul management, infrastructure and modernizing everything at Riker's and the prison system. Moving Rikers is nothing but treating the symptoms and not the problem. |
