With everything going on with detention centers and Trump's drooling over the worst prisons I really thought this was another attempt by him to gain federal control of a bad prison, but "thankfully" it seems U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain was picked by Clinton so hopefully that means this is unrelated and actually ment to improve things.

Did a quick check, didn't see any news about a stroke, so we don't have to worry about that at least.
The extraordinary intervention, outlined Tuesday by Swain in a 77-page order, comes nearly a decade after the city’s jail system was placed under federal oversight as part of a class-action lawsuit brought by detainees.
This predates even Trump's first term, so I doubt that he has much to do with it.
At a press conference Tuesday, Adams said the city would follow the judge’s order, while also suggesting the appointment of an outside manager was not necessary. “Remediation manager? I don’t know the definition of that,” he said. “We have this oversight and that oversight. How much oversight are you going to do before you realize there are systemic problems?”
He's laying the groundwork for removal and prosecution. Not sure what the prosecution will do, if anything.
Benny Boscio, the president of the union that represents correction officers, said the union was willing to work with the outside manager, but it would maintain “our fierce advocacy for the preservation of our members’ employment rights and improving their working conditions.”
So is he.
