Queens opponents of the contested Kew Gardens jail have joined the list of groups across the city who are mounting legal challenges against the borough-based jail plan.
Queens Residents United (QRU) and the Community Preservation Coalition (CPC) jointly filed an article 78 petition in New York County Supreme Court on Feb. 18 that challenges the city’s plan to replace the Rikers Island detention complex with four borough-based jail facilities.
Kew Gardens already has a jail by that courthouse doesnt it?
It hasn’t been used as a full time jail since 2002.

Though it has not housed detainees overnight in nearly two decades, the jail still plays a role in the criminal justice system. Detained individuals wait inside the jail before and after they are produced at the Queens Criminal Courthouse.
Do these neighbors forget that the inmates are locked up? They're not going to be wandering around the area like homeless shelter residents would.
Yes but won't the horrible shrieking friends and families of the perps be visiting them in the jail?
