Correction Commissioner Louis Molina sat down with amNewYork Metro for the first of a two-part interview where he spoke candidly regarding his first year as head of DOC and the state of Rikers Island as the facility edges closer to closure.
The commissioner credits much of the person he has become to his time in the Marines and the NYPD, as well as cultivating his role in leadership, ultimately leading him to the highest office in DOC.
Molina admitted that the facility is “archaic,” and he began the arduous task of reestablishing the penal colony as an active jail that aimed to both incarcerate and rehabilitate in spite of its 2027 projected closure date. “You still have to invest because you still have the responsibility to all the people that are placed in our custodial care — they still need services. I get it, there were a lot of unknowns, people were scared; we didn’t know what was gonna happen,” Molina said. “But the reality is this: Programming services should have never shut down for the wide scale that they did. And when you think about the people that are in our custody, I view them the same as I do patients in a hospital.
Molina charges that he also drastically reduced these numbers by both supporting staff but also holding them accountable.
