Family members, advocates plan to protest today after a third detainee died in Rikers custody so far this year. elijahwestbrook has the story:
As CBS2's Elijah Westbrook reported, it's no secret Rikers lately continues to be known for its deplorable conditions, and inmate advocates say enough is enough.
They plan on taking action Monday and say they will band together to decry the governor's jailing plan, which they say is sending more inmates to an already dangerous and inhumane system. "These gang members down here don't care. If you're not for them, they stab you, cut you immediately to get you out of the area," he said. "It's absolutely horrendous, with no staff for protection, and making it seem as if they can't," he said.
