“Congratulations to Vincent Schiraldi on his new post. His depth and breadth of experience are a fit for the moment.

We have a responsibility to act on criminal justice reform in our city, including ending solitary confinement, overhauling the culture in city jails, and truly closing Rikers Island. In light of the recently published Nunez Monitor Report, there is no more urgent moment for change.

I look forward to working together with Vinny to continue to reform our criminal justice system.”
