Can We Close Rikers Today?
@canrikersclose
New York City's jail on Rikers Island is set to close next year. Will the city have enough space to hold dangerous criminals after it does?

By law, Rikers must close in 423 days.
Is NYC ready today? No.
There are 6,497 people detained in the Rikers jail complex.
That's 3,197 more than the city could detain if it closed Rikers.
3,636 are charged with murder or another violent felony.
