A federal judge in Manhattan considered Tuesday whether to put New York City's sprawling and troubled Rikers Island jail complex under federal control before ultimately granting the city more time.
Anna Friedberg, Martin's deputy, cited multiple instances when legal barriers -- including city policies, existing contracts and union rules -- have stymied city reforms.
She cited four areas of concern at Rikers, including security, staffing, management of incarcerated people, and accountability. Molina said he believes the former de Blasio administration was pursuing a"political argument" to close Rikers, explaining current conditions.
