CLARK BRONX, N.Y. 10451 www.twitter.com/BronxDAClark DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BRONX COUNTY (718) 590-2234 68-2017 For Immediate Release August 23, 2017 OPERATION ZERO TOLERANCE: 29 FORMER AND CURRENT RIKERS ISLAND INMATES INDICTED FOR BRUTAL ASSAULTS IN THE JAIL Some Defendants Had Left Rikers, But Are Still Accountable for Violence There; Gang Members Attacked Other Inmates and Two Correction Officers in Four Incidents, One Inmate/Victim Needed 100 Stitches for Numerous Wounds Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that 29 gang members have been indicted in attacks on fellow inmates and two New York City Department of Correction Officers in Rikers Island. District Attorney Clark said, “Some of these defendants may have thought they were free and clear for crimes on Rikers Island because they had left there, but if you beat, slash or stab anyone while in jail we will arrest you, prosecute you and urge consecutive sentences if you’re convicted. “No one will escape justice for violence committed against inmates or staff. These defendants are charged with four separate incidents including disfiguring an inmate with multiple cuts, beating a Correction Officer who was protecting a slashed inmate, and attacking a rookie Correction Officer with a chair, fists and feet. “These indictments show that you will pay for such brutality.” Acting Department of Correction Commissioner Brann said, “These arrests send a clear message: If you violently assault our hardworking staff or people in our custody, you will suffer certain consequences.

  • Not in Any Back Yard Eliminating Power Plants from the South Bronx
    NOT IN ANY BACK YARD ELIMINATING POWER PLANTS FROM THE SOUTH BRONX Thomas Storck M.S. Sustainable Environmental Systems Programs for Sustainable Planning and Development Pratt Institute Demonstration of Professional Competence May 16th, 2016 Advisor: Alec Appelbaum Technical Advisor: Charles Komanoff ABSTRACT In 2001, the New York Power Authority (NYPA) installed four 47 MW gas-fired turbines in Port Morris, The Bronx, a neighborhood already suffering from some of the worst asthma and poverty rates in the country. In doing so, NYPA cut regulatory corners, exploited loopholes and minimized public participation. These turbines continue to be re-permitted every five years. To challenge NYPA’s claim that these gas plants are environmentally beneficial, environmental justice coalition South Bronx Unite reached out to energy policy-analyst and environmental activist Charles Komanoff for advice on how these four turbines could be replaced with clean energy or other carbon-free solutions. This report describes how the State managed to install power plants in environmental justice communities by undermining the laws put in place to protect people from polluting infrastructure before evaluating the capabilities of selected alternatives to replace NYPA’s turbines, including offshore wind, solar PV and demand-side management. 2 INTRODUCTION In 2000, New York State officials agreed to install ten gas-fired turbines across four boroughs in New York City (Parker, 2003). The Bronx was burdened with four units, more than were installed in any other borough, all concentrated in Port Morris, a community already suffering from a disproportionate share of environmental burdens and home to some of the highest asthma rates in the United States (Parker, 2003; Maantay, 2007).
