Rights Group Plans Mass Bailout at NYC’s Rikers Island
More than 500 women and teenagers will be bailed out from New York City's Rikers Island jail as part of a national campaign to dismantle a bail system that activists say discriminates against minorities and the poor. The effort is being spearheaded by the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights group, which plans to raise $5 million to fund the releases.
