As the New York City government proceeds with plans to replace the jail complex on Rikers Island with new facilities in four of the city’s boroughs, officials have run into resistance from residents and government leaders from each borough over the proposed jail sites.

In four meetings held in recent weeks in each of the boroughs that would receive a new jail under the plan, officials from City Hall were confronted by residents who oppose construction of new jails, even in locations where jails already exist.
