As the situation at Rikers Island takes a turn for the worse, the city is taking measures to address the severe staffing shortages at the Department of Correction. But as NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Bob Hardt explain, the city's efforts to make sure correction officers show up to work have turned into a nasty fight with the union. They also weigh in on possible solutions to fix the humanitarian crisis unfolding inside the city’s largest jail complex. And in the middle of this crisis, Mayor de Blasio has officially entered his final 100 days in office. Zack, Courtney and Bob reflect on his legacy and break down his latest management report, which shows that his administration has failed to deliver on some of his key policy priorities.
