I saw magazines that wrote about people who survived covid-19 and it got reactivated after they were officially healthy again. Is that true?

I was an inmate of Rikers Island for 6 months in 2019/2020 and was fortunately assigned to the Hart Island work detail. Sure, I buried bodies. Approximately 15 plus a week and around 40 babies a month. A lot of people including fellow inmates thought this was a ghoulish job. For me I felt a connection. These people, fellow New Yorkers have no one there but inmates and our officers. These are people who served you coffee, cleaned your offices and countless other everyday jobs. They are mothers, fathers, sons and daughters and there was no one there at their burial. Captain Thompson was the head corrections officer for that detail and he gave these New Yorkers dignity and respect when we buried them. He has a vast knowledge of the history of this island and goes beyond his capacity to ensure proper maintenance and preservation of this island.

I am glad and excited to have learned the parks department will be taking over this Island in the following year to come and expect them to restore it, make it accessible to the people. It’s a part of our history, these are our fellow New Yorkers that should never be forgotten or abandoned.

On a more happier note, the island itself is beautiful. I’ve fed raccoons by hand, dropped cases of apples and pears out on the Fields and seen entire families of deer come out and eat. I cut acres and acres of grass, cut down dead trees and many other tasks to preserve this island. There was nothing better then getting off Rikers Island Daily to work this detail. Sure, there were hours of hard labor but I feel a sense of accomplishment and a filled duty of service by giving both dignity and respect of the people I buried. Hart Island is a gem, beautiful, serene and full of history and stories. Once it is open to the public I encourage everyone to head over, pay some respect to these fellow New Yorkers, there’s over 100 years of them buried there.

Rite now there’s only two was to get there, in a pine box or a sentenced inmate . NYC Department of Corrections does offer visits but I understand there’s a lot of red tape involved, almost like visiting someone in jail.
