FILE – In this March 12, 2015 file photo, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio is surrounded by corrections officers as he speaks at a news conference at the Rikers Island prison in New York. Gov. Andrew Cuomo and some activists say shutting down Rikers is the only solution for a cycle of abuses that includes violence by guards and gang members, mistreatment of the mentally ill and juveniles, and unjustly long detention for minor offenders. But de Blasio is against a shutdown, saying reforms and improvements would cost less and make more sense. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File)
