Having been arrested and then elected mayor, I reminded these young men that where you are is not who you are.
For the first time in their lives, their mayor didn't look down at them - I sat side by side with them to be cleansed and recommit ourselves to getting on the right path.
I've been on Rikers Island more than any mayor in the history of the city talking with inmates and correction officers to turn around what's happening on Rikers Island.
