.@NewYorker retweeting because everyone needs to accept it
American jails are designed to break the spirit and nothing more
Thank you for posting this. This should never be forgotten. 
Ugh. I just listened to a podcast episode about him. So devastating.
Why is it always a Black person can some in other Ethnicity be showcased
@TahmohPenikett Have you seen the documentary 13th? Same topic. Also enlightening interview w/ Oprah & filmmaker Ava DuVernay.
Didn't Kalief have a right to a speedy trial...especially as a teenager? This is unconscionable.
@ShelbyHappy not race related at all. Look how tough the courts were on Brock Turner, for example. Yeah...no racism going on here
even if he took the backpack, Rikers???!!!
This is just awful! My heart breaks for Kalief. No one should have to go through that.
@ABFalecbaldwin normally thing like that happen in Banana Republics ...
....Uhm! And keep N mind this blue state, New York.
@ABFalecbaldwin And the argument for imprisonment is "well he probably did *something*". Heard it too often. Round 'em up!
This is more than horrific.
what in Jesus Christ hell! Poor guy
