@andEpsKalief Browder, martyr. twitter.com/NYCMayor/statu…@NYCMayor Bill de BlasioNew York City will close the Rikers Island jail facility. It will take many years. It will take many tough decisions. But it will happen.
Mr. de Blasio said the jails could be closed in 10 years, providing the city could reduce the number of people who cycle through the city’s system to 5,000; low enough, that is, for every inmate to be taken off the 400-acre island and housed instead in jails elsewhere in the city.

Handcuffing & putting someone thru the system for jumping a turnstile is one of the dumbest laws on the books. Decriminalize the uncriminal (http://twitter.com/pvpesq/status/848862957731799040?s=17)

Decriminalizing prostitution could be key: https://t.co/YSsSVQPx4B
Yes in theory. But would this mark the return of the old #timessquare? (http://twitter.com/pvpesq/status/848861039953367041?s=17)

In 2013 I knew this was the most compelling case in #america. I guess I was right. Please see the final act #kaliefbrowder @spiketv tonight
Speaking at his funeral & seeing him in an open casket was an all-time low. They didn’t teach you about that in #lawschool #kaliefbrowder
the conversation then was mostly #stopandfrisk & police brutality now it’s the entire #criminaljusticesystem #KaliefBrowder
t was a nice day celebrating his life my mother made a tray of lasagna for me to bring to the party . his favorite food #kaliefbrowder
This series shocks the conscious to such an extent …you have to act #kaliefbrowder #criminaljusticereform
Not every story has a happy ending at least this one had heros #kaliefbrowder #venidabrowder Thank you all for watching

Located in downtown Manhattan, The Prestia Law Firm concentrates on Civil Rights litigation and Criminal Defense matters.
We diligently advocate for our clients who have been falsely arrested or imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted or who are victims of unlawful “stop & frisk”, police brutality and abuse by corrections officers in Rikers Island or who have been subjected to solitary confinement. We pursue legal action based on state and federal constitutional violations. Our firm has obtained sizable monetary settlements in suits filed against the City of New York and the NYPD.
For over a decade, Mr. Prestia has zealously fought for the rights of his clients; defending the accused and protecting the abused. As such, Mr. Prestia has been recognized as one of the preeminent NYC attorneys in his field. In 2016, he was named a Super Lawyer by Thompson Reuters magazine for his efforts in criminal defense and civil rights litigation. Moreover, Mr. Prestia has become one of the leading civil rights and criminal justice reform advocates in New York City speaking at 2016 American Justice Summit and at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers on Bail Reform during their Annual Conference in West Palm Beach this past August.
