At around 2 p.m. on Thursday, lawmakers in the state Senate began voting to overhaul New York’s parole system following years of lobbying from experts and advocates.
Two hours later, a correction officer found Jose Mejia Martinez locked up on a parole violation tied to an arrest for swiping beer dead in his cell inside the George Motchan Detention Center on Rikers Island.
Mejia Martinez, 34, became the third person jailed on a parole violation after a new arrest on a low-level offense to die on Rikers in less than two months.
None of the causes of death have been determined yet.
