Inmates Film Themselves Partying in Rikers Island Prison

Drop a comment & let me know what you think about this.

Allegedly inmates have taken over due to staffing shortages at Rikers Island, one of the most dangerous prisons in the US.

In the video below, inmates can be seen dancing with bottles of liquor & money allegedly filmed from smuggled cell phones.

RIKERS ISLAND PRISON

According to NY Post, the staffing shortages have also spawned significant increases in violent beatdowns & drug overdoses.

The head of the city’s jails acknowledged “serious problems” at Rikers Island, just hours after The Post exclusively revealed video clips of three inmates attacking another and a group of inmates partying inside a cell.

The level of disorder here is deeply, deeply troubling. I’m not going to deny that there are serious problems here.

9/11: 20 Years Later

It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since 9/11. For me, this day was especially painful because my fiancé had just been murdered two days prior (on my birthday).

I remember hearing the news of the World Trade Center attacks and rushing to the tv to see the actual towers crumble right before my eyes. The feeling of grief & terror is still memorable all these years later.

Thousands of innocent everyday people died and the world ultimately changed overnight. Tensions rose to an all time high and shortly after the US waged war on the Middle East sending the US economy into economic decline and recession.

There are tons of conspiracy theories surrounding this infamous day. Where were you on September 11, 2001? Do you think the “war on terror” has been won? Why or why not?
