Idrissa El

Death by Incarceration is the haunting and deeply human story of a sixteen-year-old boy swallowed by a system that never saw his youth - only his charges. Before the courtroom, before the sentence that would define his life, there was a child struggling to survive circumstances that no one should have to endure. Told with raw honesty and emotional clarity, Akinsanya Idrissa El (aka Carl Brewton) takes readers inside the moments leading up to his trial for murder - the confusion, the fear, and the desperate search for meaning in a world quick to condemn.
