episode Kalief Browder: The System That Stole His Freedom cover

Description

At just 16 years old, Kalief Browder was arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack, a crime he insisted he didn’t commit. What followed was nearly three years at Rikers Island, most of it in solitary confinement, without ever being convicted. In this episode of Unmasking Injustice: Law and Disorder, we uncover the devastating truth behind Kalief’s case: a broken bail system, unchecked prosecutorial power, and a jail notorious for its violence. Kalief’s story is not just one of personal tragedy—it’s a reflection of a legal system that punishes poverty, dehumanizes youth, and too often, never delivers justice. His death sparked national outrage—but has anything changed?

Was Amy a human trafficking victim? Did the cruise company do something wrong? Or was it a catastrophic accident covered up in the deep?
