    While I earnestly support Trump getting everything he deserves, Rikers needs SERIOUS reform and honestly probably to be torn down.

    Thousands of people are held at Rikers for months before ever seeing a judge or being arraigned, because cash bail keeps them locked up, and overloaded courts keep them there for longer

      I wholeheartedly agree.

      But then again we should use all the tools currently available to us. It would be nice to see him there.

        Right? Trump should be in the worst prison we have. If that’s too inhumane for Trump, it’s too inhumane for all the other people there as well, but that’s a separate issue.

      How about:

      We take everyone out of Rikers, move them somewhere better, and just put Trump there?
