The flags and movable podium on the other side of the stage, where First Deputy Commissioner Lewis Finkelman, Commissioner Dora Schriro and Deputy Mayor Linda Gibbs sat, made that side's monitor less visble from where NYCHS took its photos of the ceremonies.

WEBMASTER NOTE: At Medal Day 2011 ceremonies in the George Motchan Detention Center (GMDC) on Rikers Island Nov. 15th, the NYC Department of Correction honored staff for heroic acts on and off the job, as well as for distinguished and exceptional on-the-job performance and community service.
