The City Council is set to hear a bill on Friday that would end solitary confinement in NYC jails as criminal justice advocates say the de Blasio administration is lagging on its own plan to do so.
Queens City Councilmember Danny Dromm s measure would ban locking someone in a cell alone as punishment for a violent offense unless it is used as an immediate measure to de-escalate conflict, according to the bill. Incarcerated individuals would only be allowed to be isolated for four hours after the conflict.
