- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- People go to Rikers Island accused of breaking the law, but what's making headlines this week is the lawlessness that exists inside the notorious jail complex.
From not-so-secret fight clubs to hunger strikes and understaffing, the crisis inside Rikers is still raging.
New York Times investigative reporter Jan Ransom has been following the developments on Rikers Island closely and spoke with the PIX11 Morning News about exactly what's going on inside and why.
Kalief Browder spent three years on Rikers Island without being convicted of a crime. After he was released, he struggled with mental health, and he eventually took his own life.
May he rest in peace. He was 22 years old.
I remember that 😔
I remember his story smh sad.
Every time I see a rikers news article I think of him, what a tragedy man! Rip
I had some friends that were locked up with him and they said he used to start trouble all the time with the C.O's n inmates
And this happens in jails all over the country as well as inmate on inmate abuse leads to suicide in prisons.
There is no reason for that lady guard to be alone. This is awful. She saved that man.
Should she get equal pay?
They are understaff in riker island and the facility is over populated
@@deroxanlit4181 that's a result of Republicans wanting to keep people in jail for petty crimes in these dire times when people are quitting their jobs due to covid or getting paid better on unemployment or starting their own business venture.....it's wierd knowing this huh.....
@@KaentukiTheFuki let me guess you are for complete govt control?
@@KaentukiTheFuki riker island is always dangerously overpopulated. People barely get enough oxygen. Most inmates have a REALLY BAD BODY ODOR. So just picture lack of oxygen and bad body odor.
These men are being raped, beat up, tortured....a lot of these men are there on petty offenses...this is devastating...anyone can end up in jail for just being at the wrong place at the wrong time...the justice system needs some serious reform
Thats what happens when the government is willing to spend trillions on wars, but not a dime to clean up or beef up staff in prisons in our own country. Sad.
Wait a min, a blck man at the wrong place? At the wrong time, do they have watches? Com’on
Gentrification in the finest form. Getting rid of us by any means. What best way but to turn us against each other after all the oppression and depression instilled. Through low income houses and lack of community leaders. Fuck the system! Praying daily for it to crumble. The true criminals wear suits daily. This is crazy! Rooted and well
Orchestrated. Why they keep us distracted with Tik Tok and Facebook
@@lolz616 Sorry, no one wants to work in prisons. Just think, this young guard will most likely be in trouble for spraying criminals. We supports bad guys!!!! So, no one wants to work in law enforcement!!!!
@@mediatationking2420
Delusional. Not all poor black people are locked up, robbing, or in a gang. That is only a small minority of your community. You are ignorant in your views. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own actions and choices no matter how bad a hand you get. Are you gonna be a true leader and stay away from what everyone else is getting into or will you be a follower and stay in the streets gang bangin and selling drugs while hoping for a better life? The choice is yours to make.
prayers goes out to the officer for her safety, she is way too deep in that situation time to seriously look for another career.
That officer held her own! Saved that mans life 💯
Andres...would you work in rikers and work 24 plus hrs a day with no meal? Would you work in a gang invested area with 90 plus inmates alone?
That chick is bad ass
It doesn't matter what she did, other ppls lives are in danger because it's ran improperly.
@@joedijohnson1979 it does matter she step up
@@Hendrixtanell13 if it was ran properly she wouldn't have to step up, that's what I'm saying. Her life is in danger and that shouldn't be
That woman officer by herself is a hero she’s in the pen with the lions by herself something none of us would ever wanna do.
i did 3 years in rikers bro
They don't have any beef with her and that's why they couldn't touched her or they will be phucked
You’re clueless. The officers act like they in gangs setting people up helping to extort inmates and they do this with juveniles you’re clueless
@NuDiamond Music 🎯💯🙏🏽
@NuDiamond Music why does color matter? Do prisoners not touch white or Asian corrections officers? And it wouldn't matter even if it was one man, what is one person gonna do by themselves? Grab some pepper spray and pray?🤣🤣 I don't think women should be in male parts of jails or prisons period, and that's not a sexist comment, it's a keep women safe comment. I wouldn't want my woman to be a police officer or in the DOC.
As a 24 year retired correction officer let me say this you asked why she was by herself first politics and funding, the political part is about the pay, in my state of North Carolina we were some of the lowest paid in the country thanks to the legislators and second training and staff shortages nobody wants to work in this field because it's just not worth it. What really hurts the department is the people at the top they don't listen to the officers in the trenches who work in dangerous situations like that female officer in the video and trust me the only reason she didn't get hurt was because they didn't wanna hurt her I commend her for standing her ground but she never should have been in that situation because in prison when something bad happens there's zero reaction time I'm just stunned she didn't call for backup thank goodness she walked away without getting hurt.
How much more f*^^cking funding do jails and prisons need??? America is number 1 when it comes to the most inmates and number 1 in funding.
The money is going somewhere. There’s foul play with our tax dollars
@@XoXoG I hear your frustration but the reality is the prison's are in terrible condition the officers just aren't there because the pay is horrible so you tell me how do you make prisons and jails safer and make this job more appealing. It starts with money just like everything else ✌️
You don't waste a hand being occupied when you know there is no backup. That's a hand you need to protect yourself.
@@47freeze maybe they can start by not locking up non-violent offenders. Would cut down on half the offenders. Wow look at that, now there is enough corrections officers to control the inmate population.
Seeing stuff like this just makes me grateful that im not in jail smh
Good bhoi ..
They'll be out and on our streets.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇😳😳😳😳😲😲😲😲😢😢🥺🥺
The little lady a real one . Got more ❤️ heart then the inmates
The one that sat there and watched? Lol
Fosho 💯
Naw inmates mind they damn business before they be next lol
Yah but she doesn’t have to stay in the cells with other inmates
She got more heart than them cowardly white folks
What people don't understand is once you're in prison and in general pop, there is nothing anyone can do to keep you alive. The inmates control every prison and they are always understaffed.
💯 percent correct. This is nothing new.
Time to bring back hard labor prisons
Let them break rocks 14 hour's a day with only bread and water. 6 days a week. They will be so tired ,they will just want to eat and sleep, because 6am rolls around pretty quick.
No, the inmates are given control. Guards could shut that shyt down, easily. A lot of them are just as corrupted as the prisoners.
You are absolutely correct!!
@@twogenders.9618 you'll have to shoot all the inmates over that shit.
My aunt worked on Rikers for 20 years. I seen her transformation from being around all that violence. It’s draining. She was a CO so imagine what the actual inmates go through. Shits sad all across the board
Rikers is bad cause people USELESS people like your aunt works there. A woman lol go figure bad things happen what did she end up doing to help victims in jail? NOTHING! LOL!
@ash Suri who hurt you ?
@@michelle-fw3ic Useless.
What kind of transformation?
Why any women would even want to BE A CO AROUND A BUNCH OF FOOL'S👀👀
I've once visited a friend in Rikers and vowed to never return after the way I was treated as a visitor so I can just imagine what goes on inside those walls.
Oooof, sad part is they probably did that on purpose.
To solely discourage you from going... Some of them are extremely wicked like that Ya know..
I have tons of family & community in jail, it helps holds them accountable when we show up for our people... And it shows that we are watching & care. . .
They get tortured & It's rumored to be haunted 💔🙏🏼😔
Yes they treat the visitors like prisoners. I myself visited Rikers many years ago and they treat the visitor as if they did something wrong.
Treat you like a prisoner how? All they can do is follow protocol. If you break any rules then they are rightly supposed to boot you out.
Yes riker is super overpopulated and understaff. People find a way to bring in contraband all the time
@@ConsiderTheCrows This doesn't just happen to people who break rules.
This is some scary shyt. That female CO is very brave but I hope she finds another place to work where she wouldn’t ever be left alone to handle fights. This is crazy.
Being a CO is not that bad ! It doesn’t look this bad ! Those inmates want to attack the inmate behind the CO and they didn’t want to attack the CO
She probably a feminist she deserves what she gets 🤷🏼♂️
@@deroxanlit4181 they could’ve stabbed the CO because she was protecting that inmate. clearly there was a reason they were targeting him
@@mike7204 huh?
@@Athear. Riker island is not as bad as what you are seeing on the news. Riker is Super overcrowded that cause hazard to inmate and CO. Most inmates there are waiting for trial. When inmate get convicted for their crime then they will get send to upstate. inmate do not want to risk getting a longer sentence to stab or hurting any CO.
Another thing people don't understand is that this is a jail not a prison. A lot of people here haven't even been convicted of a crime yet. To have conditions like this is disgusting. Also classification has to do a better job in separating violent from non violent offenders.
They've been having fight clubs in that jail its terrible! Look at the case of the young man who was wrongly convicted , came out and hung himself from sustaining so much trauma! That place needs to be shut down
That woman should be a professional role model for other officers. In addition, the video of the incident should be used as a training aid. This brave young C.O. should be supervisor.
Period
Damn that's scary they were twice her size.
There's 100s just like her you don't see. She's doing her job.
Salute to her.
@@sweetsadi27 shut up you sound like a hater
It's been like this for decades. Rikers is a holding facility. Just because you are locked up there, people automatically assume you're guilty. Remember Kalief Browder's story
Bruh almost everybody in there is guilty.
@@MADOUT_VPS First, that's not true. Close to half the inmates get their cases thrown out. Second, the majority take a plea to avoid a possible long prison sentence or long jail stay. Third, most cases are non-violent.
Very tru
@@LIVEFRMNYC You know nothing about the law. Most people in prison are unable to post bond since most come from poor families. So you have people in prison waiting for years until they get a trial. Anyone technically could be charged with a crime whether they are innocent or not. This means that majority of the prison population have not even been convicted of a crime since they are still awaiting trial. A lot of the prison inmates are pressured to take plea deals since the odds of a black or hispanic man winning a criminal case is low. Now you have people that might be innocent in jail but there is no telling how high that number is. Kalief Browder was one of them but he refused to take a plea deal. A plea deal is basically where the defendant admits guilt.
@@Joseph-zd7kg Why is this directed to me?
Entry-level at salary at Rikers Island for correctional officers: $37,579/year. In NYC, that does not go far.
She is confident with that pepper spray usage if used right and at the right moments its extremely effective. Anytime they came within 4 or 5 feet she gave them a face full of it. That stuff isn't the small jet stream pepper spray either it unleashes a much bigger and more powerful radius.
It has always happen in Rikers. They just bringing it to light now. Rikers is infamously known for a reason.
Watching the lone female officer was a bit shocking. I'd say protocol needs a serious review to say the least.
protocol? I am certain the dehumanization and demonization has nothing to do with being unable to higher more COs. Its either her or no one comes to the aid of that other inmate and he gets beaten with in an inch of his life. And guess who will be to blame for the beat down? the officers, as if they are the ones who physically did it.
You must be a kid. Lone females is a norm
@@columbusohio72 the norm? Where? I am certain I am older than you.
She was prolly in there getting D if the stereotypes about CO's is true
@@godemperorletoatreidesii6971 um, stop
been going on for a while, thx for investigating
I spent 2 years fighting a case on RIKERS ISLAND and I've seen all kind of abuses .. The officer's let it happen.. Not all of them, but the majority do.. Sometimes we had officer's that weren't the regular officer of the house and they would make an announcement saying I don't care what you do to each other just make sure there's no cuttings because I don't feel like writing!!!
Most officers are primarily concerned with having a calm tour. It's not uncommon for officers to make that kind of announcement.
Wow my love to the lady correction officer,she is one tough cookie God bless her and protect her
She was brave and held it down.
I'll never understand why prisoners are allowed to socialize with other prisoners.
Kudos to that young lady for standing strong againts more than one threat

Circumstances can turn a civilized man into a savage but you can't turn a savage into a civilized man !
This goes on in most prisons, always has. Since it's men and not women who are being violated no one has ever really cared. Good to see someone finally does.
This is what happens when you hire the same criminals that just doesn't have a criminal record. The guards come from the same environment and have the same foolish mentality. I'm talking from a Rikers experience of 27 months. This has been happening long before. The inmates run Rikers. The guards support the dysfunction and the violence.
They can’t find anyone that wants to work there. They don’t have a choice for the most part
Getting paid shitty for babysitting criminals. Hhhmmmm, as a parent I rather take care of my child and raise them right so they don’t end up in prison. If a Nigerian student, or Indian student from a different country, can come to America and be successful and rich. Than the fact remains is why do these people care so much for criminals. Is it because the state, city, or privatization prison making money off the incarceration of these people, and the death of its citizens. The good die young and what is left is a repeated cycle of this problem. Look at Chicago. My people are killing each other and they want to tell me BLM. I am insulted.
@@dunkinherdonut8471 Crime is lucrative and incarceration is profitable. Prisons being one of the best investments to date.
@@marquiswilliams150 Man I took the test years back , passed everything up to psychological and background check . So glad I chose not to take it . As an officer you are fighting the inmates , your coworkers and the institution itself .
@@danieltucker632 Your decision was a blessing in disguise.
Someone needs to get that warm in props she had to be 115 pounds in there with Those men they had knives and weapons and all she had was a can of teargas or mace and she stood her ground nobody sees that that poor woman was over ran and she stood her ground you need to give her a raise a promotion that girl should be running the place she’s got heart somebody’s got to recognize that
They were not going to attack the female CO! If they wanted to attack her she would have been dead already. Those inmates only want the other inmate standing behind the female CO. The CO was never a target !!
Ain’t gon lie! She held it down, and saved o boy!💯
But he ended up dead
I think they should start charging the correctional officers w/ assault for being complicit
I know a correction officer at Rikers who has been overwhelmed by the lack staffing and the fact that inmates know they can’t be touched.
Just put a pack of White Guys beating up a Black Guy. That'll get asses moving with outrage to correct this.
Cant be touched 😂 u mean they beat on the punks 😂 and COs mind there business 😂 the strong Survive
@@charlesgerety1403 strong white guys survive just fine in there. Weak punks of all races are preyed upon.
That correctional officer is lucky to come out of that incident without been hurt is really crazy how she was by her self and in most cases inside the jail the inmates outnumber the correctional officers so there's really nothing they can do in a fight other than spraying
Believe it or not lot of inmates the first thing they do is look for the male then tend to be easier on the female officer period
It's rare that inmates attack female officers. It's actually common that they protect them. Also, the inmates know where the cameras are situated. Most attacks on officers occur in areas where surveillance is poor. As chaotic as this may appear, you can tell from the officers movement, that she wasn't overly concerned for her personal safety. She was basically playing referee to calm the disturbance.
My boyfriend is currently at rikers island for VOP ( violation of parole ) and they got him house with people who know they might never get out . Just yesterday their building was on lockdown for two day and I couldnt talk to him or anything . Smhh I pray for his safety everyday . He has court Tuesday so hopefully everything goes well .🙏🏽🙏🏽
Very sad. Great report.
The officer should have left the scene she was clearly out numbered….SMH 🤦🏽♀️ But I do applaud her bravery some men don’t have the bravery she has.
What lol
Please don't go into any law enforcement positions. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The gate was locked. They were cornered. They both left when the gate finally opened.
She is a warrior fearless
Nobody will touch her
Great journalism Jan Ransom! Thank you for your stellar work.
Actual journalism going on at the nyt, nice to see, but if the editors can find a way to attack conservative values with this they will.
THIS OFFICER LITERALLY PUT HER LIFE ON THE LINE !!!! AND YES " THEY" WOULD HAVE STABBED HIM !!! BUT MY QUESTION IS " WHERE ARE THE OTHER ON DUTY OFFICERS?" WHO IS WATCHING THE CAMERAS!! THEY ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN!!! FIRE THEIR ASSES !!!!!!!!!!
The CO definitely was right for the job and she handled that correctly
Just imagine how many guy's that are going through exactly what this guy went through and worse whose still in there and can't call or write for any help. All we can do hope those guys are guilty or get out .
But guilty of what, though. Say you do something minimal and now you have to go through this kinda stuff. Sometimes the punishment doesn't fit the crime.These violent and non violent criminals should separated.
@@sb5064 Besides the very rare edge cases "like the kid that stole the backpack". People are not being sent to rikers for jaywalking or smoking weed. The overwhelming VAST majority are all violent offenders who have commited heinous crimes agianst other humans. We tried the ankle monitor nonesense and people died for it.
What did Kelly do
that was a long time for the cage to open. very brave tiny lady
Very brave but if they would've bum rushed her, she'd be dead. That jail is a clusterfuk of chaos.
@@byronstansberry1638 stop talking like that when you won’t even do what she was doing and she wouldn’t of been dead clearly see the gate open 🤣🤣
That CO did a great job, she saved that guys life and put herself on the line
That female CO is extremely brave. Yes it’s her job , and she did her job well keeping that inmate safe. Most of the CO’s in all prisons are brave.
That's a lie
Male feminist that's cap. She wasn't beat down only because she was a woman.
What i’m really surprised by, is how they are acting like this is new. This goes on in jails ALL over America lol. Since the beginning of time too
Why only blame the D.O when it is your own ppl beating you?
Bro what why blame the teacher when it your classmate bullying you
Not only do you have to worry about the inmates you have to protect your self from the guards as well.
they are supposed to have CO on station (there assigned area) on alert and it takes that long to open a gate? in general too slow of a response if they “always on alert”
I've been seeing more and more anger about crimes being committed by former inmates who had recently been released. If this is what it's like in our prisons, what else can we expect?
THATS A JAIL NOT A FUCKING PRISON DUMMY ‼️google the difference if you don’t know by experience🤦🏿♂️
@@thugsss3f Oh no! What have I done!
If a inmate think he going to get all this protection in prison he needs to think twice about his crime , prisons are understaff and over populated so if you can't fend for yourself you might as well check off or request pc 🐊
This has been going on for decades
See how everyone is saying “she held her own” or “she is brave”. This proves that women are clearly not seen as “fit” to be corrections officers. If it was a guy that did what she did, no one would call him brave.
Inversion
Straight facts
The lone, petite,
female officer must have grown up with a bunch of male siblings...she is incredible.
Only folks I feel bad for are the COs who put their life in danger working in this grotesque working conditions…
Why is innocent people that are locked up even sent to prison bruh people like you need to change your way of thinking until it happens to y’all or a loved one y’all won’t but y’all swear it won’t happen to you yeah okay all someone has to do is point you out and say you did something trust me
@@DevonteM317 by the way some of them act, they don't look too innocent to me.
@@gofastER Some are innocent.
Don’t feel so bad for the COs a lot of them are the problem. They be the ones running ilegal shit in Rikers. They will extort you and have your family send them money for you to be good. They will crack open your cell at night for other inmates to jump you if you have beef with anyone. The whole jail is crazy but the adolescent part is the jungle. You have to understand that the same hoods that the inmates are from a lot of those COs come from there too so they have their bad intentions.
No. The government needs to step in and better this crap so that inmates don’t feel the need to go fkin crazy.
It don't matter if you innocent or guilty. When you are locked up on a misdemeanor or felony you're guilty. Even if you detoxing they don't care the nurses get paid more money there than in the hospital. There is more people down in jail prisons due to help it doesn't matter if they're innocent or guilty it's just a proper humane thing to do.
What ppl don’t know is, that theirs 1 correction officer to 30-40 inmates/ individuals that has a lack of respect for authority in which they have to supervise! What the news not mentioning is that these officers are being force by the department to work 24hrs shift, they not being afforded any breaks, no access to your love ones and no food! Not to mention you have to call n beg to go home. How can any one perform in these work conditions, especially in a hostel environment!? Let’s just say something goes wrong during your work shift, the department is quick to terminate you instead of helping you. People are scared to do their job! I been a correction officer on rikers for 2 years, that job n stress is not worth it!
Wow ridiculous ashamed that the city don’t protest for better human conditions.😩😢
That CO is lucky and brave. I was always told “If you can’t do the time, then don’t commit the crime.” I grew up in NYC…Bronx, Harlem, and Queens…I decide I did not want someone control my free liberties on pulled my head from rear , because I was heading down the path of destruction. My mom made me live NYC, I’m very happy I did. I do visit, but just would not live there, nothing has changed.
And what’s your argument for the ones who are wrongly convicted… that shouldn’t”t “HAVE to do the time” because they didn’t do the crime as you had stated… how do you feel about them and what are YOU doing to progressively make a difference
@Bamboo Training you sound extremely ignorant. Your dismissed. How someone talks has nothing to do with justification of wrongful conviction. If you think so, your part of the problem and should do some time in Rikers sitting down.
@@Bladewarrior-323 That's where you're dead wrong! I was a CO on Rikers for 21yrs. AND I grew up in the Bronx! How you come off is how people are going to perceive you!

People must educate themselves at any cost!
@@billyclub9733 ooooh. There it is. So you WERE part of the problem. And I can see how people quote on quote perceive you as you would say. You used to work there… and you should be appalled by how it’s being run now, meaning you should get off your ass and do something instead of arguing for whatever your arguing in the RUclips chat comments. You my sir are clearly the problem and it just took 3 responses from you to confirm that.
People don’t realize that these issues have been around for years! No one does anything about it, except report on it for a few days. People get abused in there, and while there are criminals who deserve to be away ofc, there are HUMANS in there that deserve a chance at rehabilitation. Not an environment that’s worse than the one outside
It’s because of people like you that it’s not safe in prisons. You want inmates to have soo much freedom that it creates more problems. Stay out of stuff you don’t understand.
@@ladyville3 You sound like someone that doesn't understand by that ignorant comment. Freedoms and abuse are completely different things, and I mentioned neither. I know people that GOT OUT and turned their lives around bc of the programs offered in jails and prisons... So instead of having fight nights with less CO's and shitty interactions there needs to be better interactions between the people in there more than anyone else.
@@ladyville3 Too deep in a belief to understand my comment 😂
That lady CO is the TRUTH. She was smaller, out numbered and protected the victim with confidence before that gate opened. BTW It took entirely to long for that gate to open. She's amazing.
Close the facility down asap and lock up the CO's who's part of the problem
Rikers has always been a mess. So she needs to stop it, I have family that works there and this is nothing new.
You guys are forgetting these are criminals, its not supposed to be pleasant, when you do hard time it makes you not want to come back, it worked for me!
I believe this is prime example of why you should keep your nose clean and avoid going to jail.
They know who is doing what and still sh*t continues to go down putting people's lives on the line. If this establishment cared about truly stopping this extremely criminal behavior they would implement very severe and drastic measure to stop these criminals, who it is clear, that jail isn't enough to force them to quit their vicious and criminal way of existence. We are being overrun at every turn with the criminal mind in and out of jails. And it's getting worse as time progresses.
That's why these people are locked up. They're just displaying the viciousness that put them behind bars in the first place. 😐

I consider this job one of the worst jobs I ever had. The level of stress is through the roof. I lasted only one year.
My brother love being a CO ! He said most people complaining about BEING a CO is stressful but they don’t see other jobs are just as stressful.
There isn’t a prison or jail in America that protect inmates
But in this video a woman literally just protected a Inmate? What are you talking about
There not meant to protect the criminal but society from the criminal.
I just witnessed an inmate being protected by a brave lady c.o.
I never understood hunger strikes....why would I care if you don't eat lol
I pray things get better in all of these prisons across the USA
Too many female officers in nYC corrections. The female officer in this video is a hero but they have too many female officers and that's not sexism that's about safety
Actually, it's more than that if you consider the sexual relationships female C.O.s have with inmates. Oftentimes, providing shelter for futher criminal activity within the jail. From drug trafficking to allowing other weaker inmates to be abused and extorted.
Yup
Tyrefe Kelly. Looks. Soft he shouldn't have broken the law. .he did and now he's getting The breaks. Beat off him by the other inmates
Here's a idea dont. Go to jail
Exactly you try to kill a rival gang member and think his people in jail are gonna greet you with hugs?
Lol tyrefe Kelly what a clown. Yall are clowning him. I love it.
Government officials presidents and any other government agencies are responsible for all and need to be put in a position exactly like that
Yes, she should not have been by herself. As a former correctional officer and female. She had to signal to have the gate open. The female correctional officer did not signal to open the gate because the inmates would have run out the gate, which would have created a bigger situation. So, she peppered sprayed only when they appeared to attack, and then she signaled to open the gates, so that she could escape alone. That's life in prison, the norm in most prison. It's a shame. Now check this, if the gates would have been open, and the inmates would have run out, and created a more hostile environment outside those gates, the both Correctional Officers the one on the floor and the other in the control unit would have been written up and probably placed in suspension. CRAAAAZY RIGHT. Even a correctional officers escape has to be planned in safety.
I think she did a wonderful job.. kept calm n spray tf outta them all.. wow.. a female officer with 4..5 grown ass murders n all.. wow
Still don't get why its not a man there with her...or why women don't just deal with women inmates and men deal with man inmates. God forbid somebody bad happens...she's outnumbered. SMH!
How you no they murderers 😂😂
@@heightsfynest6023 how u can’t read?😂
@@raybest2805 😂😂 sorry
The problem is three fold. First is with the way they are so badly paid who would want to be a corrections officer. I have never understood this. Increase the pay drastically, give them better conditions and you will see how quickly the position for guards fills up.Second is the facilities in the prision are bad, it probably houses more inmates than it was built for. They need to overhaul and renovate Rikers. Thirdly I my opinion to work as a corrections officer you have to have a certain kind of temperament. It's not a very pleasant job at all. It is the kind of job that attracts sadustic people. Not saying every guard is sadistic but the job does attract those kinds of people.
Sad!
The problem is that these CO's aren't punished for their role in allowing this to happen for decades. Cowards.
Prayers of protection for these officers risking their lives. As well the prisoners who are suffering with this craziness happening. They need to fix the system because it's been damaged for decades
Clearly you have never been to prison. She wasnt attacked because she is one of them. Most guards in Rikers are affiliated.
@@mattk8810 Or they probably like her and she’s probably fair to all of them so they spared her.
You don’t see the aftermath I guarantee you that girl had to get in a room and cry she was probably scared to death and couldn’t show no fear do you know the toll it takes on a person like that nobody cares are you kidding me
bro she from the hood she def was not tripping & usually the co not gonna get attacked bc they know the whole goon squad gonna beat them up badly if they touch a worker.
The officer is so brave!

The system failed you but you are not forgotten.
How much more attention does this stupid sound facility needs. Like cmon mixing non- violent criminals with violent criminals doesn't mix. 🤦♂️
This is what happens in all jails. Cos march in once the assault happens. The people getting beaten are usually gang related or they did something inexcusable in the GP
Why do they let so many people out of their cell at a time?
These situations are so dangerous, there almost laughable? I'm 235, I lift and do some bag work. There's no way I'd work in a facility like this!
She's a truly brave warrior!!!!!!!
If u don’t like it don’t go to jail act right in the streets u won’t be in there 💯
Jail suppose correct your mistakes that’s why it’s called correction
Just pray you dont go to jail for a minor offense or something less minor and find yourself in a situation like this than you would eat those words.
Many of the inmates are innocent. Awaiting court to plea there case. That's why I hate keyboard lawyers doctors and warriors who sit behind their phone screen and whack off for 18 hours of the day then spend the rest trying to tell someone else about their business. You need to be focusing on getting your nut before you bust a vein.
@@justintrice9881 Some of these comments are posted by people who don't get the fact that everyone serving time isn't always guilty of anything. I can't quote the history of those in this footage, but many of us know about how corruption within the department and justice system has left innocent people in these situations.
More and more ignorance. If you think the American justice system is good enough for what it’s trying to do then you haven’t seen enough.
With New York’s soft on crime, you can only imagine the animals they keep locked up. I don’t feel sorry for none of these criminals, they aren’t sorry for their victims
Bravo 👏🏽 to the lady officer. Even though she should of been with another. Thank god their both safe. NY we gotta do better.
