I’m saddened to learn that a New Yorker in city custody died early this morning. He was transferred from Rikers Island to Elmhurst Hospital yesterday evening, where he was receiving medical attention.
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they endure this profound loss. Every person in our city’s care deserves dignity, safety, and access to quality medical treatment—without exception.
Transparency is essential and the Department of Correction and oversight partners have begun an investigation into the circumstances of his death.

Q: Why do hospitals serve some of the most toxic, ultra-processed junk food imaginable?
A: Because the system isn't built to cure illness. It's built to manage it... FOREVER.
Who's ready to demand hospitals stop feeding disease & start feeding health?

@NYCMayor Right on! What a contrast to Mayor Giuliani’s visit to Rikers when I was working in the Rikers MH Dept — he brought nothing but hatred & contempt.

Earlier this week, I broke fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody, Department of Correction staff, Commissioner Stanley Richards, and Councilmember Yusef Salaam.
It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time. People sharing what little they have: breaking bread, offering prayer, making space for one another’s dignity even in the hardest place.
In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity.
May we extend that mercy as far as we can. Eid Mubarak to all.

Right on! There is no justification for these stigmatizing, dehumanizing methadone clinics. Give people a prescription & let them go to the pharmacy like everyone else!

filtermag.org/methadone-clin… The way to boost treatment retention rates and save lives is to end the OTP monopoly over the dispensing of methadone. All health care providers should be able to prescribe methadone in office-based & community settings, OPCs & SSP @AATOD1984 @NYSOASAS

@CCA_NY Jerome Wright shares a picture of Theresa Grady’s husband, who was recently killed. They told her he died of a heart attack and yet he looked like this. With Theresa distraught in the background, Jerome says we must break this system.

@CCA_NY @RAPPcampaign .@SenatorMyrie says when we said people are being brutalized & murdered behind bars, they didn’t believe us, until there was video and NYT reporting. We’re asking you today to believe us the 1st time. Let’s get all these bills passed this legislative session. We can wait no more.

Humans evolved under dietary conditions very different from those created by modern agriculture and industrial food, and many modern diseases may arise from this mismatch.
Much of the modern medicine & nutrition advice is based on a complete lack of understanding of this basic truth...

Having worked as a therapist on Rikers Island, I wholeheartedly agree!
Solitary Watch@solitarywatch
Therapy during detention found to be an effective, cost-efficient way to reduce violent behavior within jail system news.nd.edu/news/therapy-d… This should be obvious, but good to have more research to prove it. Among other things, therapy can reduce the use of solitary confinement.
