Four Rikers Island guards pleaded not guilty Monday after they were accused of standing by to watch a person behind bars try to take his own life.
. He was discharged from DOC custody and transferred to Bellevue Hospital's traumatic brain injury rehab facility where he remains with no change in prognosis as of June 2021.
“Every day I see Nicholas fighting and it’s been traumatic seeing the pain of him even trying to breath, eat, talk, and to learn how to live again. While these officers have been workings still at Rikers Island and Nicholas is still in the Hospital. These officers need to be held accountable for their actions," Madeline Feliciano, the man's grandmother and guardian, said in a statement Monday.
Feliciano had been placed in an intake cell on the night of Nov. 27 where he used a t-shirt and sweatshirt to hang himself from a ceiling hook, the same hook a different inmate used to attempt self-harm six days earlier, according to the review. As alleged in the lawsuit, there were no attempts to remove the hook after the earlier attempt.
