Someone should probably shut this prison down (because its too concentrated on making profits) and also investigate collusion between prosecutors and attorneys. How many thousands of dollars were wasted just because this prison wanted to make profits. How much more for the incoming lawsuit?
A man from Queens, New York, spent nearly 5 months inside Rikers Island prison without knowing his bail was just a measly $2.
Aitabdel Salem, 41, was locked up between November 2014 and April 2015.
Last week, he was acquitted of skipping his bail of $25,000 for attacking an NYPD officer who arrested him in November for allegedly stealing a coat from a department store.
Unbeknownst to Salem, prosecutors could not get an indictment against him and he was ordered to be released soon after his arrest.
