Bernard B. Kerik left his mark on the city’s Department of Correction, reducing violence among inmates and cutting the use of overtime and sick leave by employees.
But yesterday, his mark was literally stripped from the Manhattan jail, in a gesture that seemed to seal his fall from grace and underscore how quickly a good reputation can be lost.
The 881-bed jail commonly known as the Tombs for the original Egyptian Revival structure built in 1838, or for the grim atmosphere, depending on whom you believe will no longer be called the Bernard B. Kerik Complex. It will again be called the Manhattan Detention Complex, as it was before Dec. 12, 2001, when Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani dedicated the two buildings that make up the complex in honor of Mr. Kerik.
Hopefully, Bernie will someday spend a few nights there very soon.
Kerik was one of the people speaking for Trump. He was Trump’s chief uniformed thug. Before he was arrested for corruption George W. Bush was considering him for head of Homeland Security.
