The women's section of Rikers Island is getting a redesigned and more kid-friendly visitation room ahead of Mother's DayCommissioner of the New York City Department of Correction Lynelle Maginley-Liddie is photographed in the newly opened preschool play and learn hub for inmate mothers and visiting children in the Rose M. Singer Center at the Rikers Island jail complex in the Bronx borough of New York, on Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
One interactive wall display shows a map of the city’s five boroughs. Buttons below trigger city sounds, like the screech of a subway. To get to the facility, families take a bus, go through security and drug screenings, and pass by walls with six layers of razer wire. Outside the new play center, a sign on blue cinderblock reads, “Inmates are permitted to hold their children during the visit.”
Lynelle Maginley-Liddie, commissioner of the New York City Department of Correction, cut a giant green ceremonial ribbon to open the room.
