NEW YORK (Sputnik) — In May 2010, Kaleif was arrested in New York City at the age of 16 and was released in June 2013 without being charged with a crime.
“Kaleif was paranoid and that’s not just a mental issue, he was paranoid for rightful reasons.”
“It’s a hard time to understand what everyone’s going through here,” Kamal told the crowd.
“He [Kaleif] was secluding himself because he was scared,” Kamal said. “He did solitary confinement for so long.”
Browder was found dead at his family’s Bronx, New York home on Saturday after he used an air-conditioning cord to hang himself, according to the New Yorker magazine.
In May 2013, Mother Jones magazine ranked Rikers Island, the prison where Browder was detained, as one of the ten worst prisons in the United States.
