The tragic death of Charizma Jones and other detainees has raised alarm over the systemic failures of the New York City jail system, prompting calls for urgent reform.
Protesters at Foley Square emphasized that the Department of Correction's tactic of releasing detainees moments before death obscures the real crisis at Rikers and limits accountability.
Community advocates highlighted the alarming trend of neglect in the jail system, linking multiple deaths to a broader pattern of negligence that has persisted under the current administration.
Activists are demanding that public officials take immediate action, emphasizing the need to ensure safety for detainees and prevent further unnecessary deaths within the city jail system.
