Formerly incarcerated individuals rallied outside Governor Kathy Hochul’s Midtown office Monday morning after two more men perished in New York City’s jail system last week.
Hosted by a coalition of advocacy groups including #HALTsolitary Campaign, New York City Jails Action Coalition, and Freedom Agenda, attendees looked to both remember the lives lost and take the Governor to task for allowing Rikers Island to continue under previously-reported deterioration.
