Council Member Diana Ayala: “These height reductions are a direct response to concerns expressed by various communities about the sizes of the proposed borough-based facilities. In the Bronx, height will be reduced by 50 feet, resulting in a much smaller facility than originally planned. With reduced heights and a projected jail population of 3,300 by 2026, the borough-based jail plan will shrink our criminal justice system and puts us on the path to decarceration.”
