Justice died a slow and agonizing death in a New York prison, and it was all caught on camera. This isn’t just another story about prison violence; it’s a chilling exposé of a system that breeds brutality and protects the abusers.
Robert Brooks, a father, a son, and a man trying to turn his life around, was brutally beaten to death by corrections officers while restrained and helpless. But his story isn’t unique. It’s a symptom of a deeply rooted culture of violence and impunity that has plagued the New York prison system for decades.
In our podcast, we delve into the disturbing details of Robert Brooks’s case, exploring the systemic failures that enabled his tragic death:
- The pervasive “Blue Wall of Silence” that protects abusive guards
- The toothless disciplinary system that routinely fails to hold officers accountable
- The chronic lack of transparency and oversight that allows violence to flourish behind bars.
This isn’t just a story about one man’s death; it’s a call to action. Tune in to our podcast to understand how this tragedy unfolded and what we can do to prevent it from happening again.
