The Jailscraper vs. Chinatown: NYC Residents Fight Construction of World's Tallest Jail

TheRealPhil,you made an excellent point. When people were trying to fight to end poverty, classism, racism, and capitalism the media and your fellow Americans looked the other way. Now because of the pandemic those people who looked the other way for years are in trouble themselves, and have lost their homes and are living in shelters, in their cars and on the street. Donald Trump, Joe Bidan, Nancy Pelosi, the congress and the Senate threw them a few crumbs and said," YOU are on Your own," we're going to give a trillion dollars to the people in the Ukraine and Afghanistan. Let's also give them all our baby formula. The American people are stupid, they just sit quietly while they slowly kill us. Don't you people get it, in their minds we are the enemy, that's why they are attacking us.

None of whom called or emailed back! The whole thing was a total exercise in futility, while I was, in the midst of Covid in LA, trying to reach out and offer a helping hand and leg up to someone who was hopefully on their path to redemption! Let's set aside that after I thought about it, I figured it was a good idea as his PO could chase after him if late or a no-show and I wouldn't have to, so I thought it was a bonus hire for me!

These issues are hyper-driven by Police unions, the DEA, corporate media, and the whole system that subsists around the criminalization of drug use, and the ghoulish gatekeeping created by profit based medicine and profession.

Three things historically are needed for a city to exist, clean source of water, good sewage system to eliminate waste and safety. People will come to it, buy homes and open business in it. Miss any of these three essentials, the city will decline. You need your jails, otherwise the criminals will be left on the streets and you will have to deal with them.

Power to the people at Chinatown NY

[@thesun6211]

I'm curious what lead to Mayor Adams's 180° about face on the jailscraper, other than winning office in NYC and access to the inside workings of the Mayor's Office. Are they trying to replicate the downtown 4th Street Jail of Phoenix, AZ; except in NYC, but bigger?

[@toshiyaar7885]

Impressive. They have a good plan for an alternative.

Just look at it as the elites idea of public housing! I laugh to keep from crying.😂

While large warehouses fill as quickly as cells, they roll around your family with a pocket full of 🐚 s.

Jan Lee should run for office. 🤔 could be awesome.

In Chinatown not the Hamptons or Park Ave. What a joke..meanwhile Adams puts illegal immigrants in luxury hotels at taxpayer expense but 4 billion on a jail you got homeless people in the streets Adams is a joke hes gotta go.

Only 18 this year??? That ain't nothing for their turnover and pop. Northampton County jail I watched 3 people die in 1 months back in 2014. There was only a population of 600 in that jail. 1-200 odds of dying while being held for court....

NO NEW JAIL

Revolution is now needed and a separate homeland is needed for the poor workers of America. The rich and the poor cannot peacefully live in harmony, because their whole goal is to continue to live off of the backs of the poor. The poor working class donot need these blood sucker. We can organize ourselves into our own civil society, provide for and take care of each others need. I can't see any other way out.

[@juliettedemaso7588]

I can’t either tbh. We have to remove these barnacles, they’re killing us.

[@wongcy713]

Stop that thought. That jail being built partly with you in mind. Under current system it not difficult to put anyone in jail - unpaid ticket police stop and search on ridiculous pretense and an angry pushing a neighbor complaint.... The list goes on.

@Vincent Wisehoon That's your opinion

[@limhong1095]

Welcome to Democracy. USA 🇺🇸🤦👿

[@krysisstorm2703]

How about they build only 1 new jail either in Staten Island or Manhattan and then close down rikers after all the prisoners are transferred out. Use Riker's Island for a community project. Put a museum or park or recreation center. No private homes or businesses except for a few restaurants or small retail shops that serve the purpose of being a draw to whatever community project that goes there!

[@thomasholt63]

Yeah build alot of hotdogs stands there and BATMAN AND MAYOR ADAM'S WILL THANK YOU

[@2_Major_TV]

They'll still build it despite the protest.

[@ruffadamsthegreat.2662]

Another lying politician? Ha. Ha. 😐

[@2signalman]

I have no respect for politicians that lie!

[@virgolove4ever701]

People are dying at Rikers Island so often because it's poorly controlled.... Obviously they need better management or staff's.... And that Eric Adams is a real freaking politician SMH....

The new tRUMP Tower! 😉😂🤣
