#BlackLivesMatter, and #BlackPrisonersMatter too. That's the message protesters and family members of Samuel Harrell sent to an upstate New York district attorney Thursday. They're demanding that Dutchess County District Attorney Bill Grady bring charges against the 20 or so corrections officers who brutally beat and killed Harrell, a 30-year-old black inmate, earlier this year inside the Fishkill Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison 60 miles north of New York City. They are singing "we are not afraid" #samuelharrell pic.twitter.com/UiKCfISJ28— Poughkeepsie Journal (@PokJournal) August 27, 2015 Harrell's widow, Diane Harrell, remembered her husband in a statement Thursday as a man who, although struggling with a mental illness, was a "soft, gentle, human being" who had cared for her two children as his own.
