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.

His death sparked national outrage—but has anything changed?
