BREAKING: 21 people incarcerated at Rikers Island have tested positive for #COVID19 — as well as a similar number of staff. Population in infectious disease unit has doubled from 28 to 56 in past 4 days. @NYCMayor response is totally insufficient to full blown crisis.

Gonna get real ugly in there. And who knows how bad other prisons are.

10. No, he's been transferred to a state prison in Buffalo

Rikers is a jail, not a prison. It holds inmates for trial and those sentenced to less than a year.
