Barry Cozart, a 39-year-old man from Queens, becomes the first Rikers Island detainee to die this year following a medical episode. Despite no known serious health issues, Cozart was found unresponsive in the George R. Vierno Center. His family, who knew him as caring and sensitive, demands answers and a full medical report. Meanwhile, Mayor Mamdani calls for Rikers closure and smaller borough jails, as the facility faces ongoing issues and court-appointed oversight.
