At a Council hearing in March, I questioned DOC why patients are not being moved to the newly built unit at Bellevue Hospital for Rikers detainees with serious health needs. Construction was completed in January. Five months later, over 100 beds remain empty and no plan.
A 104-bed facility for seriously ill detainees is mostly finished but unopened — three years late and nearly double its original cost — because the Department of Correction says it lacks enough officers to secure it. buff.ly/hNqU3gE
