Third Rikers detainee dies this year as Adams admin pushes back on damning federal report
third detainee in city jails to die this year, amidst pushback by the Adams administration to a damning report by the federal monitor overseeing city jails and new calls for a federal takeover.
“It is unclear how the Department was able to reach the conclusion that there was ‘no Departmental wrongdoing’ given the limited information available about the underlying incident,” reads the report. “As the Monitoring Team received no further details regarding the incident other than that which is stated herein, the Monitoring Team is unable to assess the incident and the veracity of the Department’s claims.
Valles’ demise was just one of a number of troubling recent incidents highlighted in the monitor’s report to the judge overseeing the Rikers consent decree, Laura Swain. It describes a “troubling state of affairs” in city jails of both shocking violence and a lack of transparency by DOC to report such incidents to the monitor.
In another incident, a man in a crowded intake was jumped by other inmates, left naked in a holding pen for three hours, and ultimately taken to hospital where he was intubated and found to have suffered a ruptured spleen and broken ribs. The monitor wasn’t informed for nearly three days.
