Show Notes

A tragic case at Rikers Island exposes flaws in the citys three-one-one hotline. Benjamin Kellys mothers plea for medical assistance went unheard, leading to his death. The system routes family concerns as casual comments, lacking accountability and public tracking. While some families have seen results, others face barriers, especially inmates in restrictive housing. The Board of Corrections hotline remains hidden, leaving families in the dark amidst Rikers ongoing crisis.
