About this episode
New York City Correction Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie defends Mayor Adams' move to veto a City Council bill that would prohibit solitary confinement in city jails. Meanwhile, the MTA is testing new barriers on the platform at the 191st Street subway station in Upper Manhattan to keep riders from falling or being pushed onto the tracks. Plus, a new law in New Jersey was signed by Governor Murphy this month that gives domestic workers more rights and protections. WNYC’s Mike Hayes has the latest. Finally, with the 2024 national elections just around the corner, Democrats running the statehouse in Albany have a choice to make: keep pursuing progressive criminal justice policies or avoid more backlash from critics who claim reform measures have made New Yorkers less safe. WNYC's Samantha Max reports.
