Show Notes
A federal judge appoints former CIA operative Nicholas Deml to lead Rikers Island jail system overhaul, aiming to address deep-rooted issues like violence and poor oversight. Demls broad powers include hiring, firing, and policy rewrites, but critics argue the seven-year timeline is too long amid ongoing crises. The city faces its own deadlines for closing Rikers and reducing solitary confinement, adding to the challenge of balancing quick fixes with lasting improvements.
