RIKERS update:
According to my best tally, the courts & 5 city DAs have cleared for release 125 Rikers inmates in last few days.
Mayor de Blasio is saying about 75 have actually been released.
The city had been looking at several 100 releases.
Why the discrepancy?
The process of releasing Rikers inmates isn't easy, it seems.
It includes the Mayor's office of crim justice recommending inmates for release. The DA's signing off the releases. And then a judge approving them.
There's a separate track for parole violators thru the state.
Then the Dept of Corrections has to process the actual release.

A class-action lawsuit trying to get COVID-vulnerable inmates released from the MCC, Manhattan's federal jail, has now produced a string of inmate declarations.
Here, Cesar Fernandez-Rodriguez describes being on 23-hour a day lock down w/a shower every 3 days to limit exposure.
Vinicius Andrade says he was taken to the hospital w/a 104.8 degree fever, tested positive & was sent back to MCC.
He claims he was placed in a cell w/a concrete bed w/no sheets or blankets and lay on the concrete shaking.
Armando Beniquez couldn't get medical attention even tho he says his roomie fell ill & he felt symptoms of the virus. He says he asked to see a doctor "between 23 and 30 times" to no avail.

Stories like the Central Park birdwatcher & the death of George Floyd draw attention to race & policing b/c of their stark hero/villain narrative. But this, which got scant attention, is part of the context. NYPD was sued over its racially unequal social distancing enforcement.
The same lawyers who sued the department over stop-and-frisk have now asked a judge to force the police to turn over its enforcement directives.
They want an investigation into whether the police are violating a court order by enforcing rules unequally.
The city has until June 2 to respond.

The president's demands notwithstanding, the federal courts have mostly upheld restrictions on religious gatherings as a legitimate government power during the pandemic.
From a decision in Maine...
From a federal judge in California...
