The New York City Council is expected to approve a bill to ban solitary confinement this week over the objections of Mayor Eric Adams, who may veto it.
over concerns about staffing shortages and violence against jail workers. Mayor Eric Adams has argued since he took office two years ago that isolating detainees is an important tool to help protect jail workers and detainees.
The mayor and the union representing correction officers, which also fiercely opposes the bill, are expected to continue to lobby against the ban right up to the vote. But the bill’s sponsors and supporters say there are enough votes to pass the bill and to override Mr. Adams if he vetoes it.

I’m using Jerboa. Is there a paywall bypass extension for the built in browser? Or is there a better lemmy client I should be using? Android, fwiw.
Voyager is what I use now. I tried several others first.

Two extra clicks? I’d rather just not read it.
