The Imagining Project Luncheon

What is a “Million Dollar Block”?

It takes $500,000 to incarcerate someone in Rikers for a year. A “Million Dollar Block” is a single city block where the government spends more than one million dollars to incarcerate the people who live on these blocks. Certain neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy and Brownsville are more targeted than others.

The Imagining Project allows us, as a community, to take control and shift these million dollars for Rikers to millions for community development, generational wealth, and crime prevention.
