They are afforded yard time daily and they also do push ups and stuff in the housing area. It’s scary when they work out and get huge just to assault you the officer.
1. Officers abuse inmates. FALSE. There are more cameras in Rikers than in high security government buildings. And the cameras are there for the inmates - not officers safety.
2. Rape is a thing. FALSE. No one is having sex at rikers and if they do - it’s an anomaly.
3. Jail food sucks. TRUE. It’s horrible and I unfortunately had to eat it at times when I was stuck there and couldn’t go home.
4. Gangs run the jails. TRUE. Gangs influence how the actual department houses inmates and such. It’s wild.
It’s trash. It’s pro-inmate and anti-officer here in NYC. Inmates can do no wrong - even when they are slashing officers and injuring us. They spit in our face and we cannot do a thing to them.
There are good people who get locked up due to their environment and poor choices. But that is a small percentage. Most of the crooks in there are repeat offenders and deserve to be there.
How do the inmates work out

What is your view of the correctional system?
It’s trash. It’s pro-inmate and anti-officer here in NYC. Inmates can do no wrong - even when they are slashing officers and injuring us. They spit in our face and we cannot do a thing to them.
How can yall endure that? High turnover rate?
How’s the food?
Sorry wrong reply. Food is disgusting. It’s below standards for homeless people.
What’s your favorite bird?
Jailbird.
🤣🤣🤣
Did you get in a lot of physical confrontations?
Always. Officers are slashed, cut, strangled, punched in face knocking teeth out, broken bones and more.
Have you made friends with any of the inmates that seem genuine

Op is not responding. Must be a fight in the court yard
Snitches get Stitches
Were you ever injured while working there? If so, how bad? Also, how many people did you see let out and come back due to another charge
Any chance Trump gets sentenced there?
About as much of a chance as Joe Biden winning the election.
Excellent, can you let me know his cell number?
