Manhattan, NY - Kerik's Name Removed From City Jail

Manhattan, NY - The city jail renamed to honor former police commissioner Bernard Kerik in 2001 has gone back to its former name in the wake of his guilty plea on charges of taking money from a construction firm with alleged mob ties.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered Correction Commissioner Martin Horn to remove the sign from the Bernard B. Kerik Complex in lower Manhattan, and it was removed today and replaced with one bearing a familiar name - Manhattan Detention Complex.
