Renewed calls for prison reform after the deadly beating of Robert Brooks Sr.

Body-cam video shows prison guards in an upstate facility beating a 43-year-old man to death on December 9. It happened at the Marcy Correctional Facility, a prison near Utica. Robert Brooks Sr. died after the extended beating, and now his family wants answers. Governor Hochul has ordered an investigation. But reform advocates have been calling for change since long before this death. Our guests are a husband-and-wife team who share their ideas for how to make the justice system more just.
