Human Experience Research to Inform Enduring Design and Operations Interventions for New York City’s Borough Based Jails Room W231 B/C Overview: To close Rikers Island, New York City has embarked on the development of four Borough Based Jails which will improve community access, programming and the environment for constituents of the facilities. To that end, the city has engaged a Human Experience Design Consultant to hold listening sessions with people in custody, staff and families to explore their lived experience and to advise the Department of Correction on interventions that could improve day-to-day human experience and outcomes.
