FILE - In this June 16, 2015 file photo, the casket bearing Kalief Browder is loaded into a hearse after his funeral service in the Bronx borough of New York. On Thursday, Jan. 24, 2019, New York City officials said that the City will pay $3 million to Browder's family. Browder's long detention, nearly half of it spent in solitary confinement at the Rikers Island jail and suicide at age 22, made him a symbol of a broken justice system.
