In the video, the former inmate shows off his jail cell, uniform and food.
Inside Rikers, many inmates call it the chop.
What is surprising is that there is no one around to watch over him.
The incidents of assault at Rikers have shot up recently, reports Pix11.
Former Inmate: No.
PIX11: How did you get it?
Former Inmate: I made it myself.
PIX11: Were you going to use it?
Former Inmate: Oh no, I wasnt going to use it.
I can fight very well.
I can defend myself.
I wasnt going to use the blade.
The video was meant to be some kind of joke said the former inmate.
I brought it straight in with me, the former inmate said.
The metal detectors aint right, that is the only thing I can say.
Crowley said more improved metal detectors are available, they are not in use.
We have the technology.
The types of screeners used in airports are just sitting dormant and not being used, she said.
This individual was arrested and is facing serious charges.
This video is under investigation.
The scanners can detect the scalpels and other small blades that evade detection by other machines.
