Mayor Adams’ administration has been held in contempt of court for failing to improve conditions in city jails — and the judge behind the scathing ruling says she’s as a result “inclined” to place the entire correctional system under federal control. www.nydailynews.com/2024/11/27/j...
Yikes. The idea of the incoming administration having control over the entire corrections system is incredibly worrying.
exactly what i was thinking.
His jar is overflowing at this point
This is very bad. And appointing a federal monitor given the incoming federal so called administration, makes it even worse. 🤦🏻♀️
How many years has federal control of Rikers been threatened?
This is incorrect. Judge Swain's opinion doesn't say she's considering "federal control" of Rikers, but rather appointing an independent officer (known as a "receiver"). Please re-read her opinion, especially pages 56-58.
This is generally good, but I am... uh... not super confident that federalization of Rikers would result in an improvement of conditions given the results of our recent election.
