Inmate logs lack of guards

Rikers Island inmates are looking for guards in all the wrong places.

A desperate inmate stole an official log book over the weekend and filled it with his own observations as the jail grapples with a staffing crunch that has left residents unsupervised for hours on end, The Post has learned.

“No officer on post. No fan on post. This is outrageous. Something needs to be done. Now!” the prisoner’s first entry, signed “inmate,” states.

“At this time I cannot sleep and it is someone’s birthday today. Still no fan after 3 weeks. I have survived 5 heat waves and 1 heat stroke so far. Apparently there are no working units in the building and I find this hard to believe, very very hard,” the notes read.

The log book was stolen at one of the jail’s housing areas on Saturday when at least 150 officers were working triple shifts, approximately 50 posts were left unmanned and two female guards were sexually assaulted, according to Benny Boscio, the president of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association union, and internal records.

A spokesperson for de Blasio didn’t return a request for comment.

More than 1,000 correction officers and 200 captains have resigned in the last two years.
