The tragedy of Malcolm Boatwright's death today during his incarceration at Rikers is the latest horrifying consequence of the city and state’s failure to address the abysmal conditions that have now claimed the lives of 15 people this year. Decarceration now. Joint statement:

BREAKING: We just secured a ruling which found that @CorrectionNYC has failed to provide access to medical care for incarcerated New Yorkers in the NYC jails. The order mandates that DOC immediately remedy these unlawful failures. Press release: tinyurl.com/exue3ccr
Despite the ongoing crisis at Rikers, prosecutors and judges continued to send more people to Rikers last week with 261 new people newly incarcerated, bringing the total population to 5461. 77% being held pre-trial, 8% on parole violations. Decarceration now.

We rallied at City Hall today to demand @NYCMayor end his order authorizing endless solitary confinement. Solitary is torture. It is deadly. It must end now! We need real solutions to the deadly jails crisis. We need decarceration now to save lives! instagram.com/p/CWBZ4o0lumB/
