This is pretty much the oldest grift in the history of government. Jails and prisons are particularly susceptible to it because the costs are away from public view and borne by folks that many people don’t care about
The Adams’ administration has awarded a contract to a Rikers Island food concessionaire that has charged incarcerated people prices twice as high as those at local stores. In doing so, administration overrode the contract’s rejection by the comptroller.

Adams is a Democrat in name name only.
Keefe are evil bastards.
Is there any city in the country worse at picking mayors than NYC?
