“We want to be able to evaluate it and see the impact on the personnel traffic that’s coming into the facility, and then we’ll roll out to another facility,” he said of the scanner program. “We’ll do that one at a time.
The city Department of Correction will require its workers at one Rikers facility to walk through the special scanners for several years.“Body scanning is one part of a multi-prong strategy to mitigate against contraband narcotics coming into the jails.” Drugs have been a persistent problem at Rikers’ sprawling jail complex, where 19 inmates died last year, many by overdoses.
The Correction Officers Benevolent Association told The Poston Monday that it is taking a wait-and-see approach to the scanners. “Safeguarding our members’ health and safety, as well as their employment rights, is our No. 1 priority,” COBA President Benny Boscio said.
