horrifying. nonewjailsnyc
fact check this. They did not vote to close Rikers. They voted to spend billions on 8-12 new jail facilities.
NPR sucks
It was 8-12 jails, including hospital jails. Closing Rikers from 2026 and beyond has to be approved by the City Council in a different vote next year because of the ULURP process. FactCheck 🤦🏾♂️
Money speaks.
And with any luck,you will make them all women’s jails so men can beat them up.
They didn't vote to close Rikers. they voted to build new jails.
the city realized its much more profitable to diversify. good luck New Yorkers
Can you not read or can you just not report accurately?
Fuck this completely! AbolitionNow
NO. NEW. JAILS. Just close Riker's and lock less people up for bullshit.
This is factually incorrect and incredibly misleading. The vote today was just for the new jail construction, and in no way addresses closing Rikers. You need to retract and correct. NoNewJails
Slow.
Leave Riker's alone, and close New York City.
I’m guessing some developer has plans for this real estate
I heard the UN is our of money, maybe they can use parts of that real estate.
good news RudyGiuliani!
wtf where will they constantly reference on law and order now?
Wanna bet some billionaire developer wants to build condos there?
This isn't true, pay attention
Get rid of the staff too. Fresh start.
Its days were numbered once 'Law & Order' was canceled. That show's frequent scenes there were the best advertising Riker's ever had. Every con who was any con wanted to go there.

NPR Choice pageIt seems that she and mainland China are at odds with the majority of the world. People are rising up because their governments care more about power and control than they do serving their citizens. Her resignation would mean nothing because they are all puppets of the Chinese government. Carrie Lam would just be replaced by another Carrie Lam. The problem with some reform movements is that, in their rabid state, they come so close to getting what they’re fighting for, then lose it all and more by overplaying their hand.
