New York Mayor Bill de Blasio claims he was shocked this week after inmates released from Riker’s Island to slow the spread of the Coronavirus were caught committing new crimes.

“I think it’s unconscionable just on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done,” the mayor told reporters Monday morning.

“We do see some recidivism. I have not seen a huge amount but any amount is obviously troubling,” he said.
