Inside Rikers Island
It's New York's most notorious jail. After the governor called it a "human tragedy" and local public officials vowed to close it down, we get an insider's look from a witness to its horrors. We sit down with Mary Buser, author of "Lockdown on Rikers: Shocking Stories of Abuse and Injustice At New York's Most Notorious Jail."
