STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A report published by the New York Post says a panel commissioned by the city will recommend the closing of Rikers Island in the next ten years, and lead to replacement jails across the five boroughs.

The panel, led by former New York state Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman, plans to release its report Sunday, a source told the Post.

Staten Island Borouh President James Oddo was quick to respond on social media.

"This. Will. Be. A. War." Oddo tweeted.

Lippman did not specify what the report would say, but panel member Herbert Sturz, chairman of the Center for New York City Neighborhoods, confirmed that the panel would recommend the jail's closing, according to the Post report.

No locations for the replacement jails had been finalized, but the replacements could spread across the five boroughs, according to the report.

This isn't the first time Staten Island was faced with a jail coming to the borough.

The borough came close in 1987 when then Staten Island Borough President Ralph Lamberti, reached a deal to bring the facility to the borough instead of taking on four new homeless shelters.

The deal proved politically toxic as Guy Molinari ousted him in the 1989 election.

Borough politicians have already come out against any new jail on Staten Island, despite the fact none has been proposed.

In a letter to the mayor, Rep. Daniel Donovan (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) asked that his borough be removed from any list of potential locations for a new jail.

"Our community was only recently relieved from the Arthur Kill Correctional Facility, which operated for decades despite community objections," Donovan wrote in the March 30 letter. "Further, the percentage of people on Staten Island who are incarcerated awaiting trail or serving a sentence of one year or less is a fraction of the city total. A jail in this borough would be a disproportionate burden for Staten Islanders."

"Staten Island's community structure is not fit for a new jail. We are comprised mostly of tight-knit suburban neighborhoods with long-standing cultural histories. To place a fortified jail in a community defined primarily by single-family, owner-occupied residences would unacceptably disrupt the neighborhood character."

All three City Council members have come out against a new city jail in their district.

Councilwoman Debi Rose (D-North Shore) said her focus is on rebuilding recreation centers and improving transportation, not constructing a jail.

"It is common knowledge that my North Shore district is saturated with social services and is lacking the infrastructure to sustain and support these facilities," she said.

Minority Leader Steven Matteo (R-Mid-Island) said the idea was a "non-starter" for him.

"No, will fight against it with every breath," Councilman Joseph Borelli (R-South Shore) said. "Sometimes it seems city government only seeks to bring the bad services to the South Shore, and not the additional police and fire units we've asked for, nor the street improvements, ferry service and school seats."
