Summary

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) In the early hours of Saturday, May 15, 2010, Kalief Browder and a friend were returning home from a party in the Belmont section of the Bronx. He was 16 years old. Browder saw a police car driving toward them. More squad cars arrived, and soon Browder and his friend were squinting in the glare of a police spotlight. An officer said they had robbed a man. “I didn’t rob anybody,” Browder replied. “You can check my pockets.” . . . Reb shares the cases of Kalief Browder and Inmate H, and thousands of other children and adults held in pretrial detention in the United States without ever being convicted of a crime. Some people say cash bail “creates Hell on Earth.” You might just believe them. **CONTENT WARNING** Violence against children Links: https://www.facebook.com/KaliefsLegacy?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-case-for-cash-bail-reform/ --- 2:21 - Kalief Browder 14:45 - Rikers Island 17:33 - Pretrial Detention, Cash Bail, and Depravity 22:38 - Inmate H 31:29 - Rikers Island Origins / #CloseRikers 37:18 - Cash Bail Reform 45:45 - A Murderer, A R*pist, and A Traffic Violator 47:38 - Cash Bail Reform 57:40 - Reb's Rebuttal Learn more about your ad choices.
