New Monitoring Program Aims to Keep Youths Out of Rikers Island
The Manhattan district attorney’s office plans to launch a pilot program in September that will use the GPS in smartphones to track defendants awaiting trial, which may help prevent them from being sent to Rikers Island.The selection process is a weak point.
Another is the scale of the program.
A third is the large population already damaged by jailing.
The bail or jail pretrial system must end to stop the flow to Rikers.
The backlog already imprisoned at Rikers must be cleared.
Rikers Island should be empty of unconvicted persons not employed by the courts.

Mystery of ‘Baby Doe’ Troubles Massachusetts Investigators
After a little girl’s remains were found eight weeks ago on a Boston Harbor shoreline, police still have few clues about who she is and how she died.A place and a name will begin to resolve the questions.
We know that the person who disposed of the body was faced with a new problem.
Bodies float.
So that person was new to salt water.
The medical examiner has not spoken on cause of death.
The death was not under medical supervision or obviously violent.
Possibly an allergic reaction or accidental poisoning.
There is more to know.
Probably not a legal resident.
Her "milk language" was probably Spanish or Portuguese
