New York City was found in contempt Wednesday over “grave” conditions at Rikers Island — as a judge said she was “inclined” to order a federal takeover of the troubled jail complex.
The scathing 65-page contempt order by Manhattan federal Judge Laura Taylor Swain blasted the city for rising deaths of inmates, skyrocketing “uses of force” by correction officers and a slew of other failures. Swain wrote the worsening conditions – and the city continually falling short to correct them – left a federal takeover, or receivership, increasingly likely.
“For those reasons, the Court is inclined to impose a receivership: namely, a remedy that will make the management of the use of force and safety aspects of the Rikers Island jails ultimately answerable directly to the Court,” she wrote.Second-most commonly prescribed drug for older adults is linked to bone loss
