Dozens gathered outside the Manhattan Detention Complex to honor Kalief Browder, who killed himself after spending three years at Rikers Island without a trial.

“The system just failed,” said Browder’s brother, who wouldn’t give his name. “He did solitary for so long that being in my mom’s house by himself in his room was his only solitude.”

Browder, 22, was jailed at 16 and released in 2013. He was facing a charge of resisting arrest when he died Saturday.
