  • wow! what a great idea — madeline c lanciani on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • Thank you for the reporting, this is revolutionary thinking, best idea yet. Not just the physical plan of the jail but the way we think about the entire system, why do we put people in jail and what we expect to get out of it? The idea of the skyscraper jail in a very tight space in the middle of a neighborhood feels physically and psychologically bleak and hopeless, for those inside and outside. This is the way to go. — R. on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • "Each location has a Point of Sale System and a cash register to facilitate customer transactions.’ I wonder do the points of sale actually accept cash and provide change, or are they card only? — THX 1139.5 on New delivery platform lands on Canal

  • There's a nice Bentley SUV usually parked outside 12 Warren. Nice shiny gold badge on dash, and info placard for traffic police explaining it's a police surgeon vehicle of some sort. Do police surgeon's have placard rights? — THX1139.5 on In the News: The Connecticut of Lower Manhattan

  • IDK. This still strikes me as mostly NIMBYism. No one really wanted a massive construction project where Disney is but it’s happening, or for that matter any big condo project. But that’s one of the realities of living here. I also just assumed there was consensus about shutting Rikers forever, but I don’t follow that topic closely. But if that’s the case I don’t see how building jails where we already had one and is near the courts, and easier for families to visit, is all so bad. All the complaints about “process” and “ramming” the project through all just sounds like typical NIMBY obfuscation. There’s nothing wrong with that in one sense but we should call it what it is. — Cd on Jail protests get some traction beyond the neighborhood

  • Sure beats a gigantic skyscraper wall of jail cells plopped down in the middle of my neighborhood. Any idea seems a huge improvement over that nightmare. — Will on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • There is absolutely no reason there should be a prison in NYC. Ship them out to Jersey or upstate NY. Get rid of Rikers and any other plan to make jails in Manhattan proper — John on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • This makes too much sense, and doesn’t line the developers pockets/as much. It will never happen sadly due to the payoffs that were probably already made. Shame. — Nyc on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • Looks great. Now will the city actually consider this? — Marcus on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • this is such a great idea, city council of corse are adverse to great ideas so not optimistic, more space, less cost and not at the expense of residents in each community, easy to get too and with court houses on the Island makes hearings less cumbersome. answers all the progressives concerns but of course they will scream about something else. — S on An alternative plan to the borough based jails

  • It's just the fire island townies trying to keep day trippers (Common folk) out. smh — Sauce on Field Trip: Bike into Fire Island

  • This is about the family and friends mourning the loss of Chuck Daly. Someone shouldn’t be defined or remembered by their hard times. Sadly, journalist and comments from “TR” who put their two cents in and forget that losing someone is not an easy thing to deal with and try to get people rallied and upset or more click bait. Rest In Peace Chuck. You are deeply loved and missed by many. — M on Fund for Chuck Daly is now over $30,000

  • @JP. Not serious? Stop being patronizing. — R. on Jail protests get some traction beyond the neighborhood

  • Lots of reasons but for me: the two huge jails already on White Street should be rehabbed if necessary and not knocked down and rebuilt to create a 10-year construction project in a dense neighborhood. The Nunez Monitor Reports (the most recent came out last week) make it clear that it's an "entrenched culture of dysfunction" at Rikers that is killing people; there's no reason to think that will change with a new location. The current plan has space for a lot fewer inmates than we have now, which makes me think that we will end up with these new jails AND Rikers. Also the other borough locations are sited in neighborhoods that have their fair share of other municipal uses and should not get a (another) jail. Finally, if it's proximity to the courts that is needed, move the courts -- or at least some of them. — Tribeca Citizen on Jail protests get some traction beyond the neighborhood

  • As always, James, great breakdown on the issue. Still: I would like to know those hours -- or maybe it really is just a front! — Tribeca Citizen on New delivery platform lands on Canal
