There has been another damning report about conditions at the Rikers Island corrections complex. This time, there are graphic details about unsanitary conditions, fire safety and the ventilation systems. MKramerTV reports.
"I do think when you look as a whole at these facilities, which are not only are rife with abuse and violence but also just crumbling around people and which reflect a lack of priorities to fix what can be fixed, that the appointment of a federal monitor would only improve those conditions," said Veronica Vela of theVela was talking about the latest report from a federal monitor documenting dangerous health and safety conditions at the various jails that make up the Rikers Island...
The 150 pictures in the report paint a stomach-turning picture of dirty toilets, wash basins, sinks and other personal hygiene facilities. Vela was part of the inspection team. "We saw showers that are covered in mildew, inches of soap scum, little drain flies coming out of the drains, and these are areas where people are going to try to get clean," Vela said.
And that's not all. Inspectors found a cornucopia of live roaches, ants, water bugs, fruit flies, gnats, and mouse droppings. "When we did our most recent sanitation inspection we were told that we were not allowed to turn on any faucets, to flush any toilets, to make note of any leaks or running water in the showers," Vela said.
