While maintaining his innocence, he was beaten by prison guards and kept in solitary confinement. Not long after being released, Browder committed suicide. As New York takes its first steps to shut down the prison, Kalief’s brother, Deion Browder, is speaking out about how the U.S. prison system can be fixed.Jan. 2, 2018
