arekinsays...Seeing as Rikers is a jail and not a prison, is owned and governed by the New York department of corrections, and is only there to house short term sentences and people awaiting trial who were not given, or could not afford bail. This is not a case of greed, as it costs the state more to house this person. This is a question of why someone would have to wait three years for the state to decide if it was going to trial on a case. This is stupid on two levels, it means that someone who should have never seen the inside of this jail spent three years there, but also that someone who should go to jail may have made bail and be spending years free waiting for a court date.

poolcleanersays...Our justice system is fucked. Before it SCREWED me and dropped the charges, I was a relatively harmless person. Time served HAH. That's the joke that we call justice.
Lock you up with hardened criminals and then put you on a list. My god. It's horrifying. Absolute tyranny to truth and justice. It's all wealth control. We live in a money machine and when we cease to be profitable, we are driven to depression and addiction, beaten, and then put through the revolving door of incarceration.
My HATRED for this system is unending.
Has it EVER been right? I have my doubts. I believe this world to be a sham.
Paybacksays...You forget, that because of this, he will soon be a millionaire.

messengersays...Except banks. Banks are doing OK somehow. All is not lost.

brycewi19says...OK, I am completely sidetracked by trying to figure out JUST WHO or WHAT is Sarah Wallace looking at just slightly off to her left?
gharksays...Ahh cheers for the correction, also I notice on their (DOC) website that the Riker's Jail prison population has been going down steadily for the last decade or so, so if there isn't a directive to fill the jail like with prison's, I wonder what exactly led to this. It sounds like he went through hell in there, I don't think I would have made it through something like that.
