The story of the late Kalief Browder helped inspire the movement to dramatically reduce the use of cash bail for people charged with crime. In 2010, Kalief was thrown into Rikers for allegedly stealing a backpack at the age of 16. He refused to take a guilty plea and was held there for 3 years awaiting a trial. His case was eventually dismissed. But, he was so traumatized by his experience at Rikers that he took his own life after he was released. His older brother, Akeem Browder, has committed his life to incarceration reform from Rikers to Albany. Akeem is the founder of the Kalief Browder Foundation, which operates a youth program in the penal colony. The foundation also helps to organize city and state-wide campaigns for criminal justice reform and played a key role in winning a historic bail reform law in 2019. Akeem talks to us about what Rikers is like today and what Governor Kathy Hochul's last-minute plan to gut some of New York's landmark criminal-justice reforms. There's not a lot of justice in our criminal justice system. And when it does come, it is often years in the making. In 2015, Saul Robles was convicted of killing Alex Santiago during a 20-person brawl that took place in Park Slope, Brooklyn. In 2019, an appeals court overturned the conviction finding numerous faults with how the Brooklyn DA's office handled the case. Earlier this week, the DA's office finally announced it would not try to retry Robles. The Indypendent's Ted Hamm has been following this case closely and updates us on the recent good news. The U.S. is experiencing an inflation rate of almost 8%, the highest it's been in 40 years. The cost of just about everything is going up, up and up. To rein in inflation, the Federal Reserve plans to steadily increase interest rates over the coming year. To help us better understand what the Federal Reserve is, why it's doing what it's doing and who the winners and losers, Paddy Quick joins us. Quick is a retired professor of economic at St. Francis College in New York, a member of the Union of Radical Political Economists and a contributing writer for The Indypendent. Her latest piece, is titled “Get Ready for a Government-Engineered Increase in Unemployment." Read it here: indypendent.org/2022/03/get-ready…-in-unemployment/

Another battle that is raging this week in Albany is over the future of bail reform and other criminal justice reforms that were passed in 2019. The story of the late Kalief Browder helped inspire the movement to dramatically reduce the use of cash bail for people charged with crime. In 2010, Kalief was thrown into Rikers for allegedly stealing a backpack at the age of 16. He refused to take a guilty plea and was held there for 3 years awaiting a trial. His case was eventually dismissed. But, he was so traumatized by his experience at Rikers that he took his own life after he was released.

People detained at New York's Rikers Island are making desperate pleas for help with what they have described as long-standing inhumane conditions, like black mold, violence and unsafe COVID protocols. So they’ve taken matters into their own hands by leaving voicemails for attorneys in New York documenting their experiences and by staging a hunger strike, which has been going on since January 7. On this week's episode of Connect the Dots Weekly – hosted by WCBS 880's Lynda Lopez – we hear those pleading voicemails. We’ll also hear from Akeem Browder, the brother of Kalief Browder, who committed suicide after his imprisonment and solitary confinement at Rikers Island for allegedly stealing a backpack; veteran lawyer Christopher Boyle with the New York County Defender Services; and New York Times investigative reporter Jan Ransom.

John Tarleton and Amba Guerguerian intervew Akeem Browder, the brother of the late Kalief Browder and the founder of the Kalief Browder foundation, about the HALT Solitary Confinement Act which passed with supermajorities in the New York State Legislature. The act will put humane limitations on the use of solitary confinement in New York so that it will no longer fall under definitions of torture.

John Tarleton, the Editor-in-Chief of the Indypendent, and Amba Guerguerian interview: —Glenn Cantave, a participant in a group of hunger strikers who are fasting until a $3.5 billion excluded worker fund is included in the New York state budget. This would ensure excluded workers (undocumented people, the recently incarcerated) with weekly payments on par with the unemployment benefits other workers have received. —Danny Pearlstein of Riders Alliance, a membership organization of subway and bus riders in New York City, about what it will take to restore NYC's mass transit system and what will be done with the federal aid that the MTA just received. —Akeem Browder, the brother of the late Kalief Browder and the founder of the Kalief Browder foundation, about the HALT Solitary Confinement Act which passed with supermajorities in the New York State Legislature. The act will put humane limitations on the use of solitary confinement in New York so that it will no longer fall under definitions of torture.

Even though Bail Reform took effect on January 1st of this year, the debate over its value continues to stir strong emotions. In this podcast, 1010 WINS brings together four people who are directly impacted by bail reform, including Akeem Browder whose brother, Kalief, was held without trial for three years because he could not afford bail and  June Rogers whose son, Christian,  was murdered by a man who was released without bail. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, Briahna explores how, as AOC recently put it, "justice is purchased." Thanks to cash bail, thousands of low-income Americans sit behind bars without any kind of trial, conviction, or sentencing — all because they cannot afford to buy their freedom. Lara Bazelon, a law professor at the University of San Francisco, explains how cash bail criminalizes poverty. Akeem Browder talks about how his brother Kalief spent three years in Rikers Island starting at age 16 simply because he couldn’t afford bail, and how the psychological toll of that experience led him to take his own life.

On this week's episode, reporters Kacie Candela and Jake Shore tackle the scandal-ridden Rikers Island jail complex. Ever since the suicide of Kalief Browder, a man who helped shed light on the issues and violence plaguing Rikers, his brother Akeem Browder has been an advocate for shutting down the jail complex. Now he's running for office and hopes to unseat Mayor de Blasio who has a Rikers plan of his own.

Akeem and Anthony, both running for public office, talk #shutdownrikers, The Kalief Browder Foundation and cop-watching; everyone agrees that Keren is a racist.

Brian Sonenstein and Kim Wilson speak with Akeem Browder, founder of the campaign to Shut Down Rikers Island and the Kalief Browder Foundation. Akeem’s brother, Kalief, died by suicide in 2015 after spending three years at the notorious jail complex. His tragic story helped catalyze reform efforts in New York City. During the interview, Akeem tells the story of his own unjust arrest and experiences on Rikers as a young teenager, years before Kalief's incarceration. He relates how they both experienced the New York City Department Of Corrections' infamous culture of brutality firsthand and endured numerous assaults by law enforcement and other inmates. He shares advice he gave Kalief based on his own experiences and addresses the urgent need to improve mental health research, diagnoses, and treatment regarding incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people. Akeem also comments on the status of the campaign to close Rikers Island and the $1 billion earmarked for new "community jails." He described his experiences working with Mayor Bill de Blasio and other advocates in the city. He also tells us what abolition means to him. Kalief arrived at Rikers in 2010 at age 16, when he was arrested and accused of stealing a backpack. He maintained his innocence and spent 800 days in solitary confinement. His case never went to trial and he was never convicted of a crime. The case was eventually dismissed and Kalief was released. A little over one year after Kalief's death, their mother, Venida Browder, passed away from what has been described as a "broken heart." Akeem honors the legacy of his brother Kalief and mother Venida by working with elected officials, lawyers, doctors, college students and community based organizations to change laws, policies and regulations that devastate poor communities and families impacted by mass incarceration and solitary confinement.
