Tuckahoe Program Podcast Episode 35: A Rikers Island Prison Case/Staffing Issues at Brooklyn Hospital

In this podcast episode for August 24, 2023, I mainly discuss a case of a prison inmate beating a corrections officer within Rikers Island, a jail in New York City. And in the second part I discuss how a hospital in Brooklyn, New York has been accused of understaffing by a public sector union. And this same union also accused this hospital of violating a New York State law (passed in June 2023) that forces hospitals to assign 1 nurse to every 2 patients in critical care departments.
