MOD SQUAD: Commissioner McMickens, Commissioner of General Services Robert Litke and Mayor Edward Koch proudly dedicate the first of eight new modular buildings on Rikers Island that will help the Department expand by 1,436 beds this year alone as part of its 3,896-bed expansion over five years. The first modular dorm, attached to the northeast end of C.I.F.W., was constructed by Arthur Industries in just three weeks. [Webmaster note: "C.I. F. W." in the above 1984 caption refers to the Correctional Institutions for Women. That building is now the George Motchan Detention Center. The nearby Rose M. Singer Center houses the city's jailed female inmates.] |
