Some inmates released from Rikers Island amid the coronavirus outbreak are being given free cellphones, cab fare and even hotel rooms as they head out the door, according to sources and a City Hall rep.
“This is a disgrace to all correction officers — insane and dishonorable,’’ a city Department of Corrections source raged to The Post on Friday.

The left was given a gift of a super weapon. This very well may kill the country.

I bet the people who work in those hotels are just tickled pink about that. What will come first? Will the workers get the virus or be raped, robbed or killed?

Is Weinstein being released? If he is released he will never be seen again.

The island is home to one of the world's largest correctional institutions and mental institutions,[6] and has been described as New York's most famous jail.[7]
The complex, operated by the New York City Department of Correction, has a budget of $860 million a year, a staff of 9,000 officers and 1,500 civilians managing 100,000 admissions per year and an average daily population of 10,000 inmates [8]
The majority (85%) of detainees are pretrial defendants, either held on bail or remanded in custody.
The rest of the population have been convicted and are serving short sentences.[9]
According to a study done in 2015 by the Vera Institute of Justice, it costs the city approximately $209,000 to detain one person for one year at Rikers Island.[10]
