NYC Council overrides mayor's vetoes of solitary confinement ban, policing bill

NEW YORK (Reuters) -The New York City Council voted on Tuesday to override Mayor Eric Adams' vetoes of two bills it passed last month, one banning solitary confinement in city jails, the other requiring police to record lower-level investigative stops of civilians. In passing the bills with veto-proof majorities in December, lawmakers called solitary confinement cruel and torturous, and said it leads to heightened risks of injury or death for people in custody. The mayor and the labor union representing the city's jail guards argued the ban would make it more difficult to protect jail workers and detainees.
