Notorious Manhattan jail known as 'The Tombs' will be shut down along with a jail on Rikers Island because NYC officials project 'reduction in jail population' without explaining why - despite surging crime in the city amid the pandemic

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

The Metropolitan Detention Center in Manhattan and the Otis Bantum Correctional Center on Rikers Island will both close next month

Combined, the prisons house more than 750 inmates; the criminals will be transferred to other jails across the city

The NYC Department of Corrections says 'a significant reduction in the city's current and projected prison populations' sparked the decision

A corrections officers' union called the decision 'reckless' because prisoners will now have to be squeezed into other facilities amid the COVID-19 pandemic

#6 The wealthy in NYC and San Francisco do not care how many people leave these city’s. They will buy the abandoned buildings and homes, change the laws and then become very rich.

#7 Oh, no explanation needed.

And of course, once shut down, re-opening according to code will be impossible.
