Rikers Island

The percentage of incarcerated people those with mental health needs is growing, according to new data.

A jail guard found the 38-year-old in medical distress in a bathroom, according to the city's correction department.

The city’s latest management report shows assaults and injuries to staff and inmates have been on the rise.

The officer failed to provide lifesaving aid to the 43-year-old man as he had a seizure in a cell, according to an official report.

The city's Department of Investigation recommended more training and guidance for correction officers.

Lawmakers will vote on the plan in rebuke of Mayor Adams and the local member.

The legislation aims to speed up the shutdown and transition to borough-based jails.

The man had an apparent seizure Wednesday night and could not be revived.

Jimmy Avila became the eleventh person to die in Department of Correction custody – or shortly after being released – this year.

The death marks the 11th this year in city custody, though most were in the care of the corrections department.
