Rachel Holliday Smith, reporter at The City, and Gloria Pazmino, politics reporter at Spectrum News New York 1, talk about today's vote to close Rikers Island and replace it with borough jails.

@BrianLehrer what real estate developer is lined up to get Rikers? No real reforms, just close and relocate prisoners, then just like LICH, we will hear about condos being built on Rikers.

@BrianLehrer how about instead of tearing down rikers island. How about we use it as a Federal reform for the homeless. We can even use it as a halfway point for inmates who are on the borderline of being completely reformed to help educate and assist the homeless.
