Anti-jail fanatics will block Tisch’s crime-fighting plans

Anti-jail fanatics will block Tisch’s crime-fighting plans

New Yorkers are expressing their concerns about the ongoing crime and disorder in the city and are hopeful about Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch’s plans to address these issues. However, it seems that the city’s Democratic establishment is pushing back against her efforts.

The leading mayoral candidates and the City Council majority are pushing to downsize or eliminate Rikers Island, the city’s jail complex. They believe in the concept of decarceration, which posits that jails do more harm than good. Despite this belief, the facts and common sense suggest otherwise – jails and prisons play a crucial role in keeping the public safe by preventing criminals from committing more crimes.

A recent City Council hearing on criminal justice painted a picture of a fantasy world. Councilman Lincoln Restler expressed concerns about the number of incarcerated individuals, while others advocated for the resumption of release programs initiated during COVID, despite evidence showing that many released individuals went on to commit more crimes.

The proposal to close Rikers Island and replace it with four borough-based mini-jails that can only house half the current prisoner count is concerning. The Police Benevolent Association, the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, and other public safety advocates need to oppose this plan and support the need for adequate jail capacity.

With a new police commissioner committed to cracking down on quality-of-life offenses, it is essential to have the necessary jail cells to hold criminals accountable. However, the top Democratic mayoral candidates oppose providing this jail capacity and instead focus on alternatives to incarceration.

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is positioning himself as a moderate candidate, oversaw the closure of state prisons and juvenile detention facilities during his tenure. The bail reform law he signed in 2019 has led to the release of suspects charged with misdemeanors and felonies, contributing to a rise in crime in the city.

The push for decarceration is misguided, as reducing the number of people in jail does not necessarily reduce crime. Former Police Commissioner Ray Kelly warns against closing Rikers Island, as the proposed borough-based jails may facilitate gang activity. Leftist proposals for therapeutic alternatives to incarceration have been criticized for their lack of effectiveness in deterring crime.

While Rikers Island faces challenges such as deteriorating infrastructure, assaults on corrections officers and inmates, and inmate deaths, rebuilding the facility in its current location is seen as a viable solution. Its island location provides secure housing and outdoor recreation areas, with the potential for expansion if needed.

New Yorkers concerned about public safety must voice their opposition to the decarceration efforts of the Democratic establishment. Without adequate jail space to prevent criminals from reoffending, Commissioner Tisch’s enforcement actions may not be effective in curbing crime. It is crucial to find a balance between rehabilitation and accountability to ensure the safety and well-being of all New Yorkers.
