Supporters of the plan to close Rikers Island by 2027 say Mayor Eric Adams isn't moving fast enough.
NEW YORK -- Mayor Eric Adams is moving too slow. That's what many claim is happening with the closure of Rikers Island.Dozens rallied in front of City Hall Friday demanding Adams shift money around in his budget to help make the 2027 deadline. 'It was just a madhouse,' Larry Goodson said. Goodson spent a total of almost 20 years incarcerated, many of them on Rikers Island. He had one thing always on his mind. 'My safety. Always been my safety,' Goodson said.
'It just appears that there is no real want or belief that we should close Rikers Island by 2027 and I think we have to at least get on the same page and have a plan for how to do it. Omitting it altogether is not a good move and it wouldn't be the first time that the administration just skips over a law that the Council has passed,' Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said at the hearing.
