The inhumanity of Rikers Island & why it’s so hard to close #shorts
This is the inhumanity of Rikers Island & why it's so hard to close.
🔵 Next on The Laura Flanders Show 🔵
Peeling back the layers of inhumanity within our prison system, this upcoming episode is a deep dive into the contentious issue of why it's so hard to close a jail by looking at Rikers Island, a symbol of America's deeply flawed approach to incarceration.
On Rikers Island, stories of violence, inmate abuse, and death have become tragically commonplace. Yet the path to closing it has been fraught with obstacles and complications. Why is it so hard to close this infamous institution, and what does this say about the state of our justice system?
There have been many chilling accounts from inside Rikers Island - real crime stories, firsthand accounts from inmates, and insights from Rikers Island employees.
By shining a light on the Rikers Island prison system, we aim to stir dialogue about the transformative changes needed in the Department of Correction. This is not just about one prison; it's a reflection of issues prevalent across many jails and prisons in the United States.
This episode is not a Rikers Island documentary; it's a call to action. Engage with this episode and help bring about a change in the narrative of justice, compassion, and reform in New York City and beyond.
Watch the teaser on our YouTube channel and don't forget to tune in for the full episode. The Laura Flanders Show is here to provoke thought, inspire action, and drive change.
