Reply to comment by brokelyngirl in Federal Monitor Who Watches Over Rikers Island Has Made $18 million from NYC Taxpayers...and counting by mattkatz00
You do realize it’s a 24/7 job right, not every corrections officer is there 24 hours a day seven days a week. The amount on shift per inmate is a more accurate statistic

Not like that job isn't 24/7 literally everywhere else

Wasn’t everyone just complaining that there aren’t enough COs to monitor the inmates, Which lead to increased suicide rates on Rikers? So now it’s that’s theres too many? All I’m hearing is a lot of Virtue signaling from people who have never been anywhere near a prison, let alone having worked in one.

It's equally obvious that most people here are unfamiliar with what lawyers charge or how they work. IIRC, there was a lawyer who was appointed a special master in a securities case. I think she had had a high-ranking position in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and had left and become a partner at a large, respected corporate law firm. I believe she charged $800 an hour and that was years ago.

Don't ask me. I wasn't the one who told you that, so don't try to hold me responsible for the opinions of others.
