Chosen Scenario: Rikers Island The officers and inmates there were part of what officials with the Department of Investigation and the Department of Correction described as a network of contraband smuggling and other criminality at Rikers that undermined security at the jail complex and contributed to violence. The search also uncovered stashes of marijuana, tobacco, and weapons. In just one measure of the rising levels of violence, there were 1,844 uses of force by corrections officers at the jail complex from January to May 2014, a number that had doubled for that time period for each of the previous three years according to the Corrections Department. Also during this period, there were 274 drug recoveries and 868 weapons confiscated, the department said.
