- 14 People Released From Rikers By New Jail Boss Using Little-Known Power
Correction Commissioner Stanley Richards has released 14 detainees from Rikers Island using Article 6-A of the State Correction Law, which allows early release for those serving sentences under a year. Advocates support the move as a tool to reduce jail population, with Richards planning to release about 60 people by year-end.
