Mayor Bill de Blasio committed Wednesday to a “full accounting” of people who died of COVID-19 after contracting the virus in city jails.
His pledge followed an investigation by Columbia Journalism School’s Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and THE CITY that identified three men who contracted the virus in local lockups but did not get counted in the Department of Correction’s official death tally.
Corrections Commissioner Cynthia Brann has highlighted that “only three” people have died in city jails during the pandemic. The new findings bring the death toll to at least six.
