Cecily McMillan Speaks Out In Defense of Rikers’ Correction Officers

One might naturally assume that the former Occupy Protester and prison reform advocate Cecily McMillan--who was released from Rikers on July 2nd following 58 days in jail for elbowing a police officer during the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2012-- would support the Times’ claims unconditionally. And so it was no surprise when she responded Wednesday by penning "What I Saw on Rikers Island," an opinion piece for the Times corroborating some of the paper's prior claims.
