The jailed population would have to be cut nearly in half by 2027. Instead, it’s growing.
Criminal justice experts say courts are still working through COVID-related backlogs, and systemic inefficiencies have long plagued the system. The percentage of people brought to court on time also plummeted in the 2022 fiscal year, to 79.1% from 97.7% four years earlier, which could lead to judicial delays and longer stays.
Of course, the mayor — or his successor, since Adams’ first term ends in 2026 — could violate the laws mandating the end of incarceration at Rikers, but such a clear violation of the law is seen as unlikely and would at least result in a lawsuit and possible injunction. There are plenty of other proposals for handling the extra population after Rikers closes, however. The conservative Manhattan Institute made several proposals in alast month, including reopening of vacant correctional facilities in Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx, and building smaller jails in the Bronx and Staten Island.
In Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, existing structures where the jails will be built are being dismantled, and in the Bronx, the site is being prepared for construction, according to Ian Michaels, spokesperson for the city Department of Design and Construction. The first new jails building — which includes a community space and garage in Queens — is nearing completion, he said. And procurements for all four facilities will be completed by the end of the year.
