that two other former Corrections inmates died this year after the DOC granted them compassionate release.
“I don’t know if Mayor Adams realizes that every time this happens, every time I learn that another mother is mourning their child who died on Rikers, it’s like a punch in the gut. How many more families have to suffer this heartbreak before he does something? The mayor said he wants to “close the pipeline that feeds Rikers” but what has he done? The time is now.
All deaths in custody are investigated by the State Attorney General’s Office and the NYC Department of Investigation. The cause of Garcia’s death is under investigation by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
