Horn’s proposed city-wide jail expansion plan, will hold a press conference on Wednesday, March 12th at 5:30PM at the Hunts Point train station located on Hunts Point Ave. and East 163rd St. followed by a victory march. The City of New York has finally withdrawn its plan to build a 2,040-bed $375 million Hunts Point jail.
Department of Corrections Commissioner Martin F. Horn continues the search for a different Bronx location to house a smaller facility, in order “to make it easier for family members to visit inmates and for prisoners to make court appearances.”
