Darcel Clark, the Bronx district attorney, during a news conference in New York, Dec. 14, 2017. Clark announced that 15 inmates on Rikers Island had been indicted on charges that they planned and carried out an attack on a correction captain on Thanksgiving. “Gang members don’t run the jails," Clark said. "They may think they do. But in the end the rule of law will prevail.” (Gregg Vigliotti/The New York Times)
