I buy bananas all the time. Bananas are dirt cheap and I imagine they are dirt cheap because the labor costs are so low. I feel like I will be financially okay if I had to pay an extra dollar for a bundle of bananas.
According to this NYT article (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/nyregion/rikers-island-receiver-nyc.html), NYC is spending more than half a million dollars per inmate annually.
Ex.: "there is roughly one uniformed officer for each inmate at Rikers, according to city data — an unlimited sick leave policy"
EDIT: oh shit! I just noticed that it says "daily" (!!). My bad, you're right.
Certainly not for public libraries
