SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 28 – Fredrick Browne is
in the Metropolitan Detention
Center in Brooklyn. He says
that someone was raped there
last week.
On April 28, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Richard M. Berman held a
violation of supervised
release proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Browne
spoke articulately about the
lack of medical attention in
his previous drug in-patient
program, and of stealing from
a Target store "because I was
hungry."
His Federal
Defender said the state judge
released him on one dollar
bail, to go into the Federal
system.
Judge
Berman was and is seeking a
solution, or at least a step
forward. Probation said that
no more supervision will work,
there should be some
incarceration and that's
it.
That is not Judge Berman's way
- Inner City Press is today
publishing his Supervised
Release Report, which was
generously provided by his
Chambers to Inner City Press
which covers these
proceedings. (Some of Judge
Berman's supervision
proceedings are conducted by
Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave, who has a section at the
back of the report.)
After a
lengthy call - who if anyone
if following up on the
criminal rape in the MDC was
and is unclear - the idea of
placing Browne in a half-way
house was arrived at, with a
report back due in the week.
The case is US v.

Cave)
