NYC Public Advocate: the ‘Law and Order’ Administration Refuses to Enforce the Solitary Law

July 30th, 2024

Press Release

"The administration is lying again about this law– which it hasn’t even pretended it was going to follow or read. They have absolutely no idea what’s involved in implementation, because they didn’t try. The Board of Correction unanimously passed rules to facilitate the law taking effect, and the administration ignored them.

"This is not an issue you can ‘take sides’ on. This is the law – passed, then passed again over the mayor’s veto. The ‘law and order’ administration is simply refusing to enforce the law, and not for the first time. They are wrong, factually and morally, and I implore them to stop misleading the city and to start leading it."
