The jails on Rikers Island have made news for years. Inhumane conditions for those detained and those who work there, along with high death rates, lead the headlines. In 2019, New York City legislators passed a law to close the Rikers jails and replace them with borough-based facilities. But progress is slow, criticisms are increasing, and questions remain about how this will work. Join Trinity’s Prison Ministry and civic leaders for this informative session to learn more about this critical issue—how it can make our city safer for everyone and how you can play a part.
