An old lady called the cops because a well dressed woman was lying on a subway bench. She was actually dead: someone broke his skull with an object, probably a paving stone, causing internal bleeding; her pursue and fancy coat were missing. Detectives realize she worked in that neighborhood as book editor and she was divorced with two kids. Her former husband tells Briscoe that the marriage ended up badly because at 30 years old she revealed her homosexuality. Thanks to a stolen credit card Briscoe and Green figured out the perp is a troubled tramp (Raymond Anthony Thomas) who has just been released from Rikers. He soon admitted his guilt but McCoy, under victim's husband pressure, is determined to prosecute who is in charge of medical treatment inside the prison.
We see in this episode that there's something you can't privatize: there is no point in conducting a cost-benefit analysis when a crazy inmate is about to leave a joint; once he's out, he could put other people's lives in danger.
