By The FirstNew York City Mayor Eric Adams called the Big Apple’s criminal justice system “insane” this week, saying some criminals with “95 arrests” walk the streets without fear of police or incarceration.
“They say the definition of insanity is to do the same thing repeatedly, but expect different results,” Adams told reporters. “Our criminal justice system is insane. It is dangerous, it’s harmful, and it’s destroying the fabric of our city.”
The Department released a “worst of the worst” list Friday.
