Kalief Browder faced regular beatings and solitary confinement when he spent three years at Rikers Island, a set of prison complexes floating between the Bronx and Queens in New York City, while waiting for trial for allegedly stealing a backpack at the age of 17.

Last Saturday, two years after his release from prison, he committed suicide just a few days before he had to make a court appearance.

Now members of Congress are speaking out and calling his treatment unconstitutional.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), a 2016 presidential candidate, is one of the right’s most vocal prison reform advocates. After the news of Browder’s suicide, according to Al Jazeera, Paul spoke out:
 

Comment by: Millwright66 (6/13/2015)
Mr. Browder is dead. What purpose - besides self-serving ones - does all this 'political concern' amount to ? The injustices and inequities of places like Rikers, or most of our 'intake facilities' and court systems aren't new. And Browder's death wouldn't have been even noted by any of his political representatives until it became "news".

How long are we - as controlling authority via our vote - going to put up with the increasing bureaucratic contempt for our rights and laws ? Its long past time we took both our elected representatives and their bureaucratic savants 'to the woodshed'.
