NY DAILY NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Yonkers resident is the latest ex-Rikers inmate forced to spend more time in jail due to officials' blunder

Jeramy Hill was frantic as he tried explaining to city correction officers that he already did his time.

The #Yonkers resident had spent nearly 200 days in city mental health facilities before he was shipped to Rikers Island on a low-level burglary rap.

By the time he pleaded guilty, the 25-year-old had already served more than his jail sentence and was expecting to be released.

But city jail officials didn’t seem to have a record of the time he was locked up in mental hospitals and tossed him back in jail for another 24 hours.

“I was angry because I was under the impression he was just going to sign paperwork,” his mother, #DionneHill, 45, said.

His case is not unique.

Legal Aid attorneys say they saved clients from wrongfully spending 341 days in city and state lockups due to administrative snafus – just in September.

...#JeramyHill was sentenced on July 13 to a year in jail after pleading guilty in Manhattan Criminal Court to third-degree burglary.

Authorities said he stole small electronics and a backpack from the luggage room at the Roosevelt Hotel in 2016. #JeramyHill, who suffers from mental illness, was found hiding behind a curtain in the room....

....a bill to overhaul the system stalled in Albany last legislative session.
