Through all the signs of the city hall on the new prisons to replace the Rikeers, the date of completion is removed and removed.
Of course, the “Close Rikeers” chart never It was logical, and the more politicians saw a feeling and turned into the rebuilding of Rikeers, the better.
The last sign: A $ 3.8 billion deal extends to the expiration date for the Chinese neighborhood prison until 2032.
This, after the latest buildings in Queens, Bronx pushed the building schedules to 2031; The full date of Brooklyn prison is now 2029.
These projects are never actually ending remote on time; At best, we expect them to be ended late.
However, the “Vision” to close Rikeers and build a smaller prison in both the four neighborhoods, which passed in 2019, depicted the closure of the Al -Jazeera complex by 2027, just two years from now.
Therefore: Five years, the plan fails for five years; I wonder where it will be in last five.
The truth is that there is no society that wants to be imprisoned in its life, and for a good reason: the living are not a place for prisons.
The DE Blasio era plan, which puts them, was also huge problems.
Above all, the four new prisons will be able to keep only about 4000 prisoners – far from 15000 Rikeers.
In 1990, the population of the prisoner rose 21000.
Recently in 2017, it was 9400, although with politicians, judges and prosecutors who distribute prison -free cards, especially during Covid, it now stands around 6000.
However, failure in prison has already sent a crime upgrade (the main crimes increased by 30 % last year during 2019).
more Thugs need to be behind bars – not less than them.
The problem is that the neighborhoods are already smoking the planned new asphalt (but very small!); Any attempt to make it bigger you will get people in the streets with Pitchforks (or leave Gotham completely).
The wild price sign – originally at $ 8.7 billion, but now almost twice – is another problem.
The city (like the state) is already facing gaps in the monster budget in the coming years; You do not need to incur more debts in a crazy project, no one (with the exception of imaginary progressive).
Yes, Rikeers needs to work. But this does not mean that it must be closed and replaced by very inappropriate facilities in the neighborhoods that oppose them in an understandable way and an astronomical cost.
to set Rikeers, instead of replacing it, has always been more logical.

Again, not remotely maybe: no It will be alternatives online after that.
When will Progs face reality, admit that the entire project is a farce and focuses on just repairing the prison complex that we have?
Meanwhile, the New York residents should keep their fingers that the new prisons continue to slip – Forever.
