The city was going to abolish solitary at Rikers and the incoming mayor cancelled the change.

That was his whole platform when he ran. He literally has no idea or opinion about anything else or what to do with this city.

Yes, given that solitary confinement is torture

The last two years the media has been reporting nonstop about how much crime has spiked in the boroughs. Police are busy and also upset so they have slow response times or don't show up when called and then blame it on De Blasio. When Adams ran his whole platform was he's gonna make NYC safe by giving police a ton more power and reversing everything De Blasio did which has been deemed to make NYC unsafe and crime filled.

Kalief Browder spent two years of his three years in solitary confinement in Rikers for allegedly stealing a backpack. His ordeal there fucked him up mentally, he eventually took his own life.

I still don't get how one of the Democratic strongholds elected a Republican. Did everyone sleep through the primaries? The only candidate I ever heard anyone talk about was Wang.

If you want to argue that it's overused then sure that case can be made.
However in certain circumstances some violent individuals need to be isolated from others for the safety of the guards and other prisoners.
Taking the power away to isolate violent individuals when necessary will just increase the danger to others.
But I guess that didn't even enter your thought process.

Basically the same way Biden became President.

The guy before him was SO bad, they were willing to check any box no associated with him.

Adams is a Democrat. He just has Republican policies.

I understand that, but he had basically the exact opposite views and policies than DiBlasio, so the people voting on policy went with that.

Plus, most of NYC just blindly checks the "D" button anyway and doesn't even look at policy.

You know most people just vote based on party. He is currently a Democrat.

These takes really overlook the primary process. He was not the only Democrat in the competitive mayoral election; just the one Democrats chose.

I mean are people under the impression that Democrats are massively against the current criminal justice system?

Gallup poll from 2020.

Views of the criminal justice system vary by party identification and racial background. A 58% majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say the criminal justice system is not tough enough. However, this view is shared by less than half as many Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (25%), while 37% think the system is about right and 35% too tough.

62% of Democrats either think the Justice is about right or not tough enough.
Tough on crime and criminals has always been popular with both parties.

Like I said earlier, Adams ran on giving the police more power to make NYC safe because the media here made it seem like we went back to the 80s. That's all he needed because he doesn't have policy on anything else. He's still gonna continue other things deBlasio was doing like the congestion pricing, putting tolls on every bridge in and out of the 5 boroughs, take away parking, gentrifying everywhere to make it more expensive to live here and continue to let the MTA deteriorate and become even more unusable.
