As the state legislative session nears the finish line, little more looks to be getting done outside of the somewhat-controversial Clean Slate Act. The bill, which would seal criminal records for those who finish their sentences and stay out of trouble for seven years, has been gaining momentum and appears to be close to passing. NY1’s Zack Fink, Bob Hardt and Courtney Gross take a look at the bill, and the current debate surrounding it. They also weighed in on the lack of any other significant last-minute movement on legislation as this session winds down.

After that, another tragedy occurred on Rikers Island. Adding to what seems to be an endless list of violent incidents, another detainee died in a hospital with conflicting stories about what caused his death. The “Off Topic/On Politics” team take a look at the Rikers report that was issued by a federal monitor on Friday and how it raises serious questions about the Department of Corrections’ leadership.
