The New York City Council has voted to ban solitary confinement across its jails, igniting a potential rift between the legislative body and Mayor Eric Adams’ office.
The council voted to end the practice 39 to 7 on Wednesday during a hearing for the committee of criminal justice. The legislation was introduced by City Public Advocate Jumanee Williams. Mr Adams is expected to veto the measure, according to multiple reports, though the mayor has made no formal announcement yet.
