## Caption

Working in the kitchens of Rikers Island, New York City’s troubled jail complex, is a tough job. The facility houses roughly 6,600 adults. A staff of 50 cooks – and some detainees – work in two kitchens to feed them all. Our reporters visited the complex, where they were granted extensive access to a kitchen, its cooks and the detainees who assist them. Tap the link above to read more. #RikersIsland
