rikers guards

Four detainees died from overdoses last year.

The death of 20-year-old Emanuel Sullivan was the sixth at the troubled jail complex this year.

Detainees held in the city’s troubled jail system have continued to miss medical appointments as hundreds of jail guards call out sick or miss work.

State lawmakers visited Rikers Island on Monday, calling on Mayor de Blasio and Governor Hochul to enact reforms.

The 18-year-old detainee was taken to a nearby hospital and placed in a medically induced coma, and is reportedly now on a respirator with no brain activity.

They each face up to 15 years in prison on the top charge alone.
