Prison Reform Activists Rally in Brooklyn After Inmate’s Death in Violent Incident Caught on Body Cam

Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered an immediate and full investigation into the death of Robert Brooks.

Prison reform activists rallied in Downtown Brooklyn Saturday, calling for justice following the death of an inmate in an upstate prison. The shocking moments before his death were caught on body-worn cameras. They showed officers violently kicking and punching 43-year-old Robert Brooks while in shackles and pinned down by several correctional officers. Brooks died Dec. 10 at the Marcy Correction Facility in Oneida County. The rally comes one day after the New York Attorney General’s office released body cam footage showing the disturbing incident.
