The Libertarian Party of New York is appalled and deeply saddened by the news of the killing of Robert Brooks at the Marcy Correctional Facility in Marcy, NY.
This tragic event highlights the ongoing and urgent need for reform within New York’s criminal justice and prison systems.
Robert’s death, at the hands of correctional officers, is a grim reminder of the violence and neglect that often permeate our correctional institutions. Every individual, regardless of their status or circumstances, is entitled to basic human rights, dignity, and safety. The failure to ensure these rights reflects a grave injustice that cannot and must not be ignored.
We demand a full and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Robert Brooks’s death. Accountability is crucial, and those responsible for this heinous act must be held to the highest standard of justice.
The Libertarian Party of New York will continue to advocate for meaningful reforms, including the protection of individual rights within correctional facilities.
Justice for Robert Brooks is not just about uncovering the truth—it is about ensuring that no one else suffers a similar fate.
