New York City’s Rikers Island prison complex will close in 2027 with no replacements, meaning that Mayor Mamdani will be able to enact his abolitionist agenda and long-held socialist dream: shuttering New York City’s jail system and thereby releasing 7,669 inmates awaiting trial — mostly charged with crimes including murder, robbery, and rape.
PirateWires 1,550 of them are in on murder or attempted murder; another 3,200 are in on robbery, assault, burglary, firearm or sex offenses. Under the state’s infamously lenient bail laws, 100 percent of Rikers detainees have been ruled a flight risk. Does Mamdani plan to put these people back on the street?
Mamdani told The City that he supports closing Rikers, and would work with DAs to “release more people pretrial or divert them from prosecution entirely.” That’s typical of a committed criminal justice system reformer who, for example, once voted against punishing people who assault transit workers.
Some may expect a future Mayor Mamdani to accelerate construction of the four replacement jails, but that’s unlikely. The city’s recently passed budget deprives it of funds it could use to hasten the process. And even if it had the money, New York is three years past deadline and $100 million over budget on another 104-bed jail inside of Bellevue Hospital. If New York can’t even open a 104-bed facility, what hope is there it can expedite four new buildings with 30 times the capacity?

Stupid bitch.
Remember movie escape from New York ,maybe should do that for real . &00
As twice that many NYC police and firefighters turn in their retirement papers.
Did I read that right? Mamdani is releasing 7000+ criminals into mainstream society?
Will all of them be weaving baskets for a living?
He’s at least been guaranteed 7000+ extra voters in the next Mayoral election. Mamdani really thinks long-term.
