3ds agoMayor Eric Adams has announced progress on several jail-focused initiatives to provide greater care and services for people in custody.
The initiatives include New York City investing $14 million to enhance programming and the release of two feasibility studies that assess the potential of building a renewable energy infrastructure on Rikers Island.
