New York Officials Aim to Reduce Jail Population for Facility Transition
원본 영상 2:28The New York Department of Correction plans to decrease the city's jail population from 6,000 to 4,000 inmates. This reduction is intended to ease the transition to new borough-based correctional facilities. Department of Correction Commissioner stated, "We need to demonstrate to New Yorkers, our city council partners, that we are serious about closing Rikers. And so we're going to look at what options we have to bring down the population and prepare the department for the borough-based jail." The host, Grant Stinchfield, criticized this policy, arguing it could compromise public safety by releasing individuals who might pose a risk to the community.
