FILE - In this May 17, 2011 file photo, a section of the Rikers Island prison is seen in New York. In September 2013, a mentally ill New York City inmate named Bradley Ballard died after he was found in his Rikers Island cell naked and covered in feces, with a rubber band tied around his badly infected genitals, after being locked alone in his cell for seven days. Documents obtained by The Associated Press show 39-year-old Bradley Ballard was checked on dozens of times in his cell in September before he was rushed to a hospital. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File)
