New York, NY — Rikers Island jail
complex in New York has been under fire almost since its inception in
the late 19th Century. It ranks in the top ten worst prisons in the United States and also happens to be the world’s largest correctional institution.
The Free Thought Project has exposed many of the recent abuses at the prison such as prisoners being fed rat poison in their food, and the mistreatment of Ramsey Ortiz, the man who filmed cops kill Eric Garner. We also helped to expose how the city condoned the raping of inmates by guards.
