NYP: Mayor-elect Eric Adams introduced the city’s new jail boss on Thursday — and warned the inmates on Rikers Island to start behaving because he plans to immediately reverse outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio’s policy against solitary confinement.
“The mayor announced, Dec. 31 he’s going to empty out punitive segregation,” Adams said.
“They better enjoy that one-day reprieve because Jan. 1, they’re going back into punitive segregation if they commit a violent act.”
Adams’ declaration at a news conference in Brooklyn prompted applause from city Correction Captains’ Association president Patrick Ferraiuolo.
Adams, a former NYPD captain, also challenged opponents of solitary confinement to spend just one day working as a correction officer. more here
