Two city correction officers and an assistant deputy warden have been suspended over the death of an inmate at the troubled Rikers Island jail complex over the weekend, sources said Tuesday.

The jail guards and supervisor failed to properly make their rounds of a housing unit where 44-year-old Curtis Davis was found dead Sunday, Department of Correction sources said.

Davis was found unconscious at the George R. Vierno Center and could not be revived. His cause of death has not yet been determined.

Davis had been held behind bars on $30,000 bond following his June 1 arrest in Brooklyn on assault and weapons possession charges.

His was at least the seventh in-custody death at the beleaguered city jail system this year. In 2022, at least 19 people died behind bars, marking one of the deadliest years for city lockups in recent history.

The assistant deputy warden’s suspension over Davis’ death was first reported by THE CITY. It comes after the DOC said it would be suspending several jail staffers over “procedural violations” found in connection to the overdose death of Felix Taveras, 40, at Rikers’ Anna M. Kross Center on July 3.

Rikers has been under threat of a federal takeover, with Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams recently calling for the extraordinary move over lack of “substantial progress” in reforming the jail system.

City officials and the federal monitor overseeing local jails have also escalated their ongoing rhetoric over hellish conditions at the lockup.

Mayor Eric Adams has strongly argued against losing control of the jails, saying recently he was the best person to fix the situation.
