More than 100 inmates at the sprawling Rikers Island correctional facility gathered in a gymnasium at the complex’s main intake center to watch Wednesday’s semifinal match between England and Argentina. Arriving inmates dressed in tan uniforms took seats at tables facing a projection screen showing the game. Colorful balloon towers topped by soccer ball balloons framed the screen. The special event is for inmates who have shown good behavior, including being incident free at least for 30 days. The jail has been hosting watch parties since the tournament kicked off last month. There have been 90 such events with about 4,500 of the roughly 6,600 inmates participating.
