Yet another Rikers Island inmate died Wednesday morning, the fifth fatality in the corrections facility this year, less than a day after the city and federal government agreed on a reform plan.
Mary Yehudah, 31, had been held at the Rose M. Singer Center since February on a first-degree robbery charge, according to the Corrections Department. She died at 5:11 a.m. on May 18 after being brought to Elmhurst Hospital for medical assistance.
