A 65-year-old Rikers Island prisoner died while being cared for at an infirmary on Saturday morning, making him the first inmate to die in custody on the penal island this year.
Marvin Pines, 65, had been jailed since Aug. 3, 2022 after his arrest in Manhattan on criminal sale of a controlled substance.Daily News
Pines’ body was transferred to the Medical Examiner’s office for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. As noted, Pines was the first Rikers inmate to die in custody at the facility in 2023. Thirty-six people have died at the beleaguered facility since 2021, including a record-breaking 19 last year, as criminal justice advocates have repeatedly condemned inhumane and violent conditions on the island that endanger inmates and corrections officers alike.
But former Rikers inmate Darren Mack of the Freedom Agenda, a nonprofit working to have the jail shut down on or before its scheduled closure in 2026, charged that “Pines was killed by a criminal legal system that has no regard for human life – from police, to courts, to DOC.”
