City makes moves toward
shifting away from jails on
Rikers with bill signing
BY ALEX MITCHELL
Mayor Bill de Blasio signed into law
a bill that will create an advisory committee
to weigh the options of a future
without a jail system on Rikers Island
in the years ahead.
As part of the process started under
the speakership of former Councilwoman
Melissa Mark-Viverito to
dismantle what many perceive as an
antiquated symbol of injustice rather
than justice, the bill begins the process
of transferring parts of Rikers Island
from the Department of Corrections
to the Citywide Administrative
Services Department.
More than likely, the space will
be used for renewable initiatives and
smaller detention facilities will be
built in each borough –except Staten
Island – closer to courts and less isolated.
“More will come over the years
ahead on the way to fully leaving Rikers
Island as a place for incarceration
and creating it as a place that will play
an important role in a positive future
for this city,” de Blasio said. “So, we’re
going to write the wrongs of the past
as we leave Rikers Island behind and
legislation today is going to help us
do it. It’s going to help us re-imagine
the spaces on Rikers Island and how
they’ll contribute to the future of this
city, and we’ll do so because of this legislation
in a way that focuses on environmental
justice, that focuses on
social justice, that focuses on sustainability.”
The Rikers Island advisory committee
created under the bill will comprise
of criminal justice reform advocates
who were themselves detained on
the little patch of land between Queens
and the Bronx. With cash bail reform,
the de Blasio administration has anticipated
keeping fewer New Yorkers
in jail and have devised controversial
plans for facilities near communities
who have long objected to the proposals.

Tyler Nims, who was executive
director of the Lippman Commission
which recommended closing Rikers
in exchange to less isolated locations.
“We’re marching down a long road,
a hard road, towards closing Rikers to
addressing the injustices that it represents.
We’re a long way from the end of
that road, but the progress that we’ve
seen, the progress we’ve made over the
past four years, is a testament to the
power of the vision,” Nims said. “These
bills, the renewable Rikers bills, they’re
the latest example, they point the way
to a better future. We have concluded
our commission, the environmental
potential for Rikers is enormous. So is
the potential for reparative justice.”
One of the bills signed directs the
Mayor’s Offi ce of Sustainability to
study the feasibility of constructing renewable
energy sources on Rikers Island.
First projected to cost $11 billion
in 2019, later fi gures indicated it would
ultimately cost the city $8.7 billion for
the four borough-based jails with an
initial completion date of 2026.
