The NYC teen spent over 1,000 days in jail without a conviction.
At just 22 years old, Kalief Browder had endured hell and lived to tell about it.

For three years, he had been locked up in one of the country's toughest jails for allegedly stealing a backpack -- a charge he strongly denied. While in jail, he was given a choice: Either admit to the crime, take a plea bargain and go home the same day or return to his cell and wait for a new court date.

Browder chose to go back to his cell.

“I always believed in standing up for what I felt was right and at that time I felt like that was the right thing to do, fight my case,” he told ABC News during an interview. “The way I looked at it if I got to stay here just to prove that I am innocent, then so be it.”
