Riker's Island is the main jail complex of New York City, located on the East River between Queens and the Bronx.

History[]

After the Megaspook incident, Ron Alexander was arrested. However, he got a great lawyer and served his sentence at a minimum security prison on Riker's. In a few months, Ron's sentence was commuted in part to serve Walter Peck's plan to deal with the city's ghost problems.
