OVER TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE TO BE RELEASED FROM RIKERS ISLAND AS JAIL CRISIS WORSENS
The state government is releasing at least two hundred inmate as jail crisis increases
Gov. Kathy Hochul is signing the Less is More bill that would limit the re-incarceration of people for technical parole violations. She also ordered the release of 191 people who are eligible from Rikers Island.
Gov. Hochul said the 191 people released from Rikers Island was meant to “alleviate the pressure cooker, which could explode at any time, but we’ll be looking at other people who qualify around the state." "This was just an immediate Rikers driven situation..."
It's another way victims get violated once again with state approval. When will NY elect politicians that care about the citizens who go through a lifetime without being "in the system"?
So if an offender that's locked up for example Marijuana & did his time should be locked up for the rest of his life just for violations to parole
