Mayor Eric Adams could be headed for a legal showdown with Public Advocate Jumaane Williams over Hizzoner’s July 27 executive order suspending parts of a law banning the use of solitary confinement in city jails.
On Monday, the mayor again defended his actions to halt the solitary ban a day before it was due to take effect. Meanwhile, the public advocate said his office and the City Council were mulling taking the administration to court over the order.
