This recent NY Daily News article here discusses the increase in violence on rikers island (including slashings and gang related attacks) despite more money than ever being pumped into fixing it. This is evidence that Rikers needs a complete system overhaul. Closing it down will not fix any of this (in fact, once can argue it is likely easier to get blades into smaller facilities than it is into Rikers) but something should be done.
