The damning report, filed Monday in Manhattan federal court, calls on the judge to threaten to hold the city in contempt as a way to force the Department of Correction’s hand.
New York City jail leaders haven’t been addressing “pervasive dysfunction” in the system — and the troubling situation hasn’t been getting any better under the Adams administration, the feds charged in a scathing new report.
The near 300-page filing in Manhattan federal court is the latest volley in an escalating back-and-forth between monitor Steve Martin and DOC Commissioner Louis Molina over rampant violence and excessive use of force in city lockups. “The pace of reform has stagnated instead of accelerated in a number of key areas,” the monitor wrote.The federal monitor’s report Monday raised concern over the pace of reforms under Mayor Adams’ administration
