Plan is to create localized jails in each borough except Staten Island(They have Richmond County). It can work to ease tension but it might have a negative factor though, localized beefs in the boroughs may be increased due to so many various gangs/neighborhoods but I'm all for borough based city jails, it makes it easier for family to see their inmates. Traveling to Rikers Island without a car is a real issue for those who aren't from Queens.
From initial reports, even Staten Island will get a new local jail.
