People w/ mental health conditions make up 53% of the population at Rikers. On average, they are held 61% longer. We pay $556,000 per person annually to keep them in jail. 90% on Rikers are held without conviction. By contrast, it costs ~$42k to put them in supportive housing.
There is simply no way CNN can feign ignorance about the fact that they set up a sexual assault victim to be targeted and attacked on national television a day after the verdict. People were sounding the alarm about this exact scenario. They let it happen anyway without a plan.
