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. Two years into New York's bold quest to eliminate pretrial incarceration for most crimes, state officials are considering abandoning some bail reforms, and locking up more people upon arrest — amid public pressure to curb rising violence. Browder spent three years at New York City's notorious Rikers Island jail complex — including nearly two years in solitary confinement — before eventually being released without trial. He later killed himself. (AP Photo/Frank Franklin II, File)
