More than 100 supporters of the state’s new “cashless bail”
laws met with state lawmakers to
stand their ground against bail reform rollbacks, which went
into effect January 1.
The group — led by the brother of Kalief Browder, whose story
helped spur bail reform in New

and meeting with state legislators
in smaller groups.
Lawmakers have been grappling this session with the new pre-
trial justice reforms, which
releases most defendants, except those who commit violent
felonies and other serious crimes.
Republican lawmakers, police and prosecutors have been
pushing for a repeal of the bail reforms
while news media have been reporting stories of repeat offenses
by those who are arrested,
processed and let free. A new Siena poll released earlier this

But progressive lawmakers who support the pre-trial justice
reforms are asking for more time
and hard data before the law is changed or repealed. They say
the old bail system punished poor

4. New Yorkers who awaited their trial in jail, often losing their
jobs, suffering abuse behind bars
or becoming alienated from their friends and family.
To help make that case, Akeem Browder spoke about his brother
Kalief.
In 2010, Browder was arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack
and sent to Rikers Island
because his family could not afford to pay his $3,000 bail.
Browder spent three years on Rikers Island, while he waited
more than a year for his initial trial.
He was sent to solitary confinement multiple times for getting
into physical altercations, set off
by him throwing a shoe, in one case.
In solitary confinement, Browder was afforded less rights than
other inmates. He was not
allowed to leave his cell as frequently as other inmates, and
when he did he was handcuffed and
strip-searched.
According to an article in the New Yorker magazine, Browder
was also physically assaulted by
police officers on Rikers Island.
Spending time in Rikers Island and in solitary confinement
permanently changed Browder, his

5. family said. In 2012, he eventually attempted suicide in solitary
confinement. After that, he
attempted suicide until his release.
In May of 2013, after 31 court days, Browder’s case was finally
dismissed. It never saw a jury
nor a verdict.
The case against Browder was eventually dropped, but the
damage was done. Browder
experienced paranoia, depression and trauma because of the
time he spent in Rikers, eventually
taking his own life in his own home in 2015.
“[Kalief’s charges were considered] non-violent yet he stayed in
jail for three years,” Akeem
Browder told the Legislative Gazette after the rally. “Bail
reform would have gotten him out, at
least so that he was not traumatized from being on a place like
Rikers Island.”
Assemblywoman Latrice Walker, the sponsor of the bail reform
bill, shared how her cousin,
Ivory Rolling, died from a seizure in Rikers Island awaiting
trial because he could not make bail.
“We’re standing on the shoulders of our beloved Kalief
Browder [and we’re] standing on the

6. shoulders of people who paid the ultimate price just waiting for
their day in court,” said Walker.
Since the first week of January, bail reform and its relation to
public safety has been one of the
most contentious issues among lawmakers and stakeholders.
According to a list of news stories compiled by Republican
legislators, there have been more
than 100 cases of serious crimes such as menacing,
manslaughter, bank robbery, strangulation
and endangering the welfare of a child committed by defendants
released without bail.

Opponents point to these cases to prove that bail reform is
releasing dangerous criminals onto the
streets.
But cashless bail supporters say this is fear mongeri ng on the
part of the news media.
“If people really look at those cases and what would have
happened prior to bail reform. Guess
what? The exact same outcome,” said Assemblywoman Catalina
Cruz, D-Jackson Heights.

7. Cruz added that, if those on the opposition presented their
concerns about bail reform six months
from now, after more data is collected, she would consider
amending the law.
Bail rollback legislation has been discussed at press conferences
and rallies, and also behind
closed doors. Some Democrats, including Senate Majority
Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-
Yonkers, are considering ways to give judges more discretion
during pre-tiral proceedings, such
as bail, on a case-by-case basis.
When writing the current statute, the idea of granting discretion
to judges to either incarcerate or
monitor defendants based on their dangerousness was
negotiated, but ultimately rejected.
“What was happening in the courtroom … was that judges and
prosecutors were using subjective
criteria, on who was, and who was not, a danger to the
community,” said Assemblyman Dan
Quart, D-Upper East Side. “Those subjective biases lead to huge
populations of people being
detained pre-trial, disproportionately people of color. That’s the
problem.”

8. Those in favor of the current laws believe that negative
opinions are being caused by fear-
mongering and “cherry-picking” of stories about repeat
offenders by district attorneys,
prosecutors and law enforcement.
“If you want to cherry pick something, cherry pick my case,
cherry pick Kalief Browder’s case.
Cherry pick these cases where people are suffering,” said
Harvey Murphy, a community
organizer from Just Leadership USA.
Lawmakers and advocates remain confident that the bail reform
laws, which are less than two
months old, are working.
“We cannot ignore the countless, the tens of thousands that we
have helped with [bail reform],
said Akeem Browder.
Darryl Herring, an activist from Vocal-NY, who was
incarcerated for 18 months and lost his
home, added: “Look at all the families that are still together,
who have not lost their homes
[unlike] me and other people.”
Advocates for bail reform are not only standing their ground
against rollbacks but are also

9. pushing for programs that would prevent people from re-
committing crimes.
“Bail reform is not my mission, it’s a necessary evil. We don’t
want jail in the first place. We
need programs in our communities [like mental health
programs] that are offered to communities
of wealth,” said Browder.
