We know Rikers has a #Covid_19 case, and spread is imminent. Well, I crunched the population numbers... No matter how you slice it, hundreds, even thousands, can be freed today. @NYCMayor #LetThemGo

Thanks @jchausow for the data.

UPDATE: At Rikers, 12 DOC employees, 5 CHS employees, and 21 people in custody have tested positive for #COVID19.

@NYCMayor #LetThemGo NOW! Like yesterday now! NOW!

Their blood will be on your hands.

I’ll make it really easy for you @NYCMayor

#LetThemGo

Self-correcting. Offense figures should be:

Misdemeanors: 496
E felonies: 244

All other figures confirmed accurate.
