I agree this is a horrible idea.
Redesign Rikers. They have the space to make it into a better, more humane jail. There is space to include parks and a lot more natural light than in a tower.
As I've stated before, this was tried already in Chicago (and in NY decades ago). Those attempts were not successful. There's also something really dystopian about a jail skyscraper.
