A Deadly Year in NYC Jails

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 11, 2022

Eighteen people incarcerated in New York City jails have died in 2022, the most since 2013. We discuss the continuing crisis in the city's jail system with Darren Mack, co-director of the Urban Justice Center's Freedom Agenda, a member-led project organizing communities impacted by incarceration, and Lezandre Khadu, mother of Stephan Khadu, who died in custody at Rikers Island last year.
