A new report from the City Council shows inconsistency across city jails in allowing visitors to see their family and friends. Many people had to wait hours to see their loved ones, or had their visitation appointments canceled, the report said.

Brooklyn Councilmember Sandy Nurse joined "The Rush Hour" on Thursday to talk about the report, and how the transition to close Rikers is going.
