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]
