That hasn’t been true for at least a year and a half

We weren’t discussing solving rikers, just whether schiraldi had any authority to speak on it, which he obviously does, even if you disagree with his viewpoint. Just like Molina or Brann or any CO or staffer or any detainee does.

I visited them in a professional capacity, and I have also visited rikers to visit someone.
You’re putting lots of words in my mouth about abolish the correctional system or something. Literally my only purpose here was to correct the highly upvoted comment on schiaraldi and vouch for the fact that rikers is more fucked up than most facilities.

I didn’t overstate shit. OP called him a career academic, which is obviously wrong, and I named a couple of the other things he’s done, which include being a practitioner in corrections. Running a juvenile system is way more experience with the system than any activist or professor has.
Thanks for the tip on asking cops what they think about locking kids up. The absolute last fucking people in the world I need to hear more from on the subject.
Like I said, I’ve been to lots of prisons and jails. Rikers is worse than all of them. Grow up and realize there is a middle ground between letting everyone out and letting a facility turn into a humanitarian crisis.

Mostly true, but it looks like decline has slowed and either leveled out or reversed. There are more people on rikers today (5500) than in 2021 (4900), and almost as many as the average daily population in 2020 (5800).
Obviously 2020 was a weird one, but had ~4 normal months too. We are not back at 2019 levels yet (7,938) but we will see what happens next year.

You’re completely wrong.
He ran Juvenile Justice in DC, ran probation and parole in NYC, and worked in various government agencies that deal directly with NYC DOC.
I’ve been to a few dozen correctional facilities all over the country and Rikers was very obviously, far and away, the worst.
