Whistleblower Exposes Shocking Abuse & Neglect Inside Rikers Island Prison | Justyna Rzewinski

Justyna Rzewinski, former Clinical Supervisor for Mental Health at Rikers Island, exposes the shocking abuse and neglect inside one of the country's most notorious jails. She reveals the disturbing practice of "deadlocking," where detainees with serious mental illnesses are confined to their cells for extended periods without access to medical care. With firsthand accounts of systemic failures, mistreatment, and corruption, Justyna shares why she became a whistleblower and the devastating impact of neglect on inmates. She also discusses her ongoing fight for mental health reform and humane treatment in the prison system.
