Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.New York City formed task forces aimed at unclogging bottlenecks in the criminal justice system and bringing the “antiquated” network into the 21st century, mayor Eric Adams said Sunday at the conclusion of a two-day crime summit.

“There's no reason [why] we're not using a centralized portal to share that information, and we are going to look at the technology that's out there that allows us to look at the amount of information and evidence that both defense attorneys and prosecutors must look at, and judges must look at,” Adams said.

The mayor held a question-and-answer briefing with journalists after the conclusion of the weekend summit, which was attended by people who work in the criminal justice system, including police officers, prosecutors, judges and defense attorneys.

Keep violent criminals in jail until trial, all of them, regardless of age, color, income, height, weight, shoe size. Boom. Problem solved.
