Elected officials are starting to make some noise about the city’s plan to re-open and expand the House of Detention on Atlantic Avenue, according to the Brooklyn Eagle. On Thursday Councilman David Yassky is going to hold a press conference decrying the plan, and he’s expected to be joined by Councilman Bill de Blasio and Comptroller Bill Thompson. The event will mark the first time politicians speak out in a big, organized way against the plan. The Eagle also mentions the new neighborhood group that’s formed to protest the House of D reopening. The group, Stop BOHD, has placed signs like the one above all over Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill. One of Stop BOHD’s members is a lawyer from a firm that successfully sued to stop a similar House of Detention opening in the Bronx.

AssWhat,
There is no sheetrock in a mobile home to bang a skull against. Formaldehyde maybe.
Others may diagree but I think you are making progress.
You belong in the scheme of the universe. There’s nothing to be afraid of. You are safe. Freedom is letting go.

“Asswhat and bxgrl are right. If we are lucky enough to have inmates like this we have nothing to worry about.”
Trust you to deliberately misunderstand and twist what people say. Of course it’s pretty funny that you would confuse the jail system of a small Texas city with the one here in NY. But you would look so much more intelligent if you actually contributed something meaningful to the thread instead of simply going after me every possible chance.
Dave- Bronx girl. Where I was born and raised (oh boy, can’t wait to see the trolls post on that).
“Does anyone know if they are planning to bring back the “mobile home” units that they parked outside for prisoners’ conjugal visits!!!!
Anyone remember those???”
That’s when your boyfriend banged your skull into the sheetrock!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
oh, no- sorry The Guest- those trailers have formaldehyde and I take a very green stance on these things. And they are just not pretty enough for the neighborhood. You know you can’t offend the eyeballs of these people- they might pluck them out.
Asswhat and bxgrl are right. If we are lucky enough to have inmates like this we have nothing to worry about.
Authorities say an inmate trying to flee a Texas city jail crashed through the ceiling into a police chief’s empty office.
Police say 17-year-old Jesus Albert Suarez Chavez and 22-year-old Roman Orozco Martinez tried to escape through air conditioning ducts of the Alton city jail around 3 a.m. Saturday, but had been spotted by a dispatcher monitoring security video.
One of the inmates fell through the ceiling into the office of Police Chief Baldemar Flores. The second inmate was trying to get into the vent.
Flores said he didn’t know which inmate fell through the ceiling, only that the vents were very small.
Chavez and Martinez are charged with burglary of a vehicle, evading arrest, resisting arrest, assault on a public servant and making a terrorist threat. They are now being held in the Hidalgo County Jail pending transfer to the expanded BHOD.
