City may build high-rise jail complex in lower Manhattan

'The de Blasio administration is considering building a high-rise jail complex in the heart of Lower Manhattan, city officials confirmed Thursday. '

'The city is already considering tapping another borough site as part of the Rikers Island shutdown plan: the nearby Manhattan Detention Complex at 125 White Street. '

'De Blasio last year announced plans to close Rikers Island’s jails within a decade, with its remaining detainees transferred to detentions centers set up in each of the five boroughs except Staten Island. '

'As part of the city’s sweeping plan to close its troubled Rikers Island jail facility, a nine-story government building at 80 Centre Street would be gutted and replaced with a new detention center that could rise as high as 40 stories, the Mayor’s Office said. '

'However, some officials have questioned whether that site is too small.“We are considering two potential options for a facility in Manhattan as part of our plan to close Rikers Island, and are engaging with the community to gather input,” said Natalie Grybauskas, a spokeswoman for Mayor de Blasio.
