My brother, Harley Leflore, was more than a statistic. He was a son, a brother, a human being who deserved to come home to us. I remember his laugh... I remember how he always.
Our family has a permanent hole in it. The silence he left behind is deafening. Every day, we are forced to live with a grief that feels both heavy and empty at the same time
My brother's death while in ODOC custody is not just a family tragedy; it is a failure of a system that was entrusted with his care. We demand to know what happened. We demand transparency. We demand justice for Harley Leflore, and for every other family who has had to endure this pain."
I am writing this not just as a grieving sibling, but as a voice for the voiceless. My brother, Harley Leflore died while in ODOC custody, and his death is part of a pattern of tragedy that must end.
We have received insufficient answers and felt nothing but disrespect from the system meant to care for him. Our grief is being met with silence and bureaucratic stonewalling
My family's pain is shared by countless others. The rising number of deaths in ODOC facilities is an alarming sign of a system in crisis, where human lives are being lost and families are being shattered.
We demand an independent investigation into my brother's death and all deaths in ODOC custody. We demand transparency, accountability, and a commitment from our leaders to reform a broken system. We will not be silent until justice is served
Demand Justice for Harley Leflore's Death
