Abstract
In June 2015, Kalief Browder, a twenty-two year old Bronx Community College (BCC) student, hung himself in the home of his adoptive mother. His suicide became national news. Arrested five years earlier at age sixteen for allegedly having stolen a backpack, Kalief had been unable to afford a $3,000 bond. Therefore, he had to spend three years at Riker’s Island, two of which were spent in solitary confinement.
