Nicole Believes Closing Rikers Island is a “Grave Mistake”

Nicole Malliotakis called the decision by Mayor de Blasio and the New York City Council to close Rikers Island and replace it with community jails is a “grave mistake” that will “increase crime in our communities and jeopardize the public safety of the very residents these councilmembers were elected to represent.”

Nicole believes, “Building jails in communities where families live, people work and children play is WRONG” and that “the $8 billion to fund a plan to build four jails could be used to improve Rikers and make it more humane and safe for inmates and officers.”

Keep Nicole Fighting For Us in Washington

The Democratic Socialists in Washington, Albany and City Hall failed to learn the lessons of the past and don’t believe we should be enforcing laws that keep our community safe. The de Blasio administration’s goal to empty Rikers and allow liberal judges to release dangerous criminals back onto our streets on their own recognizance. This will only get worse when the new Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free bail law passed by the liberals in Albany goes into effect in January.
