This week, a federal judge ordered the city to hand over the operations of its troubled jails on Rikers Island to an outside manager. Lawyers for detainees on Rikers Island have argued in court that the practices, violence and mismanagement in city jails violate the constitutional rights of the people awaiting trial there. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross, and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Dan Rivoli, discuss this massive development in the ongoing saga of Rikers Island and where it goes from here.

After that, the “Off Topic” team continues their weekly series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week’s installment finds them discussing the candidacy of Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who was initially considered a favorite in this year’s mayor’s race, but is significantly behind in the polls.
