The Black Alliance for Just Immigration supports the “No New Jails NYC” campaign to prevent the city from building 12 new prisons to replace the cells that will be lost when the infamous Rikers Island prison is finally shut down. “There will be jails everywhere in Black neighborhoods,” said Ben Ndugga-Kabuye, of the Alliance. “Jails and policing are a product of enslavement and capitalism, and they do not make our community safe in any way.”
