Envy trying to give Jay-Z WAY too much credit. They been talking about closing Rikers. Jay didn't display an interest in criminal justice reform or mass incarceration until about a year or two ago.

You can get fucking killed on rikers island the first day for trying to use the fucking phone. There can only be a crime if there is a victim!!

Sabrina Suber smaller settings allow for greater control.

+Jesus Christ what are you talking about

Sabrina Suber yup that's right!

Sabrina Suber I agree with you. Even tho I'm not a New Yorker, I would prefer to change the culture inside of prison rather then just building more jails. Great observation!

@birds on a plane... that may just be criminal-industrial system code for nyc opening up the doors to do business with suppliers and manufacturers of ankle bracelets. Just a shift from one business model of making money from the structure around a penitentiary to another business model of incarceration within ones community and household (so ankle bracelets, increased parole & probation officers, programs and apps to assist their work, more gov' cameras observing streets, etc)

oneandonlyfaith and u think they are closing it to benefit you?

Unless you have been to Rikers, u are not woke about this situation. Rikers is a failed attempt that should've been reformed from day one.

oneandonlyfaith well i have family members who work there so....yea don't close it

+turn all things to ash They'll find other jobs or get a job at one of the new prisons

+S.W.A.T. Keep that 'Woke' shit on your tumblr page; where is the evidence for the assumption you just made??

lifestraight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

lyin ah couple

U a super hater

DreadLife: 101 u stupid lol

fucc u craccer

Exactly they talking about ten years from now. That itself tells me it's some bullshit. If upper class white America deemed it a health hazard to their communities it would be closed within the next year or two.

Also interesting how many white racists watch the Breakfast Club.

Jburgz123 let me ask you a simple question. Based on the history of interactions between people classified as white and people classified as black on this planet, is it logical for a black people to believe white people? Especially when it comes to prison reform?

Your knowledge of history is so limited that you can't understand what's happening. This decision wasn't even made by white people. Black people and Hispanics occupy a large portion of NY politics but you wouldn't know that because you probably don't vote. You have no actual knowledge of current events or politics and you have no interest in gaining any. Instead of educating yourself and participating in this system you'd rather spread your useless cynicism. Please tell me how you think black people are going to be negatively affected by shortening prison sentences, reducing criminal penalties, and clearing arrest warrants. There's a large number of "progressives" out there trying to fix this system and people like you would rather stay home and play victim then do anything about it. People like you keep racist republicans in power.

she didn't even see the Kalief documentary

OffTheHookGirls it is a campaign pitch, how else is she and the mayor going to get support?

Why would she need to see the documentary. She's been trying to close Rikers before Kalief even went to prison.

Johnny Boi she's not Dominican #fail

Stupid ass she is Puerto rican btw what is wrong with white.

rickers island needs to be closed bro...its sad in there smh

Your Likes Make Me Moist or you legislate offenses like "not turning in your license plate" and make the fine $1000. smdh

most black people are in jail for violent offences, your point is meaningless.
