Please watch Rikers: https://www.pbs.org/video/rikers-rikers/
I used the above website. I am sure that you can find an alternative website if need be.
Please feel free to e-mail me if you have questions. Also, if you cannot find the film, you may want to contact a reference librarian.
By the way, many people find this documentary to be rather depressing and vulgar.
I strongly suggest that you not watch it with young children.
Please write your first formal paper to explain: What –if anything– would you do to reform Rikers? Please note that I only want practical solutions. Don’t tell me that you will send all the inmates to Harvard to make the world a better place; that is not a practical solution. Also, if you plan on expensive reforms, tell me from where you will get the funding. Telling me that you will raise taxes is too vague and actually not that easy.
