All across the United States, mass incarceration is taking the lives and livelihood of individuals and families. Legally innocent people are dying in government custody at an alarming rate. In 2022, 27 people died in Harris County jails. Inspired by a year-long residency with Civil Rights Corps - where award-winning writer KB Brookins met with lawyers, community organizers, and artists working on ending the Harris County jail crisis - Nothing Was the Cause of Their Deaths examines the jail system for what it is, bringing special attention to the atrocities that have been normalized in Harris County using research and the craft of poetry. Nothing Was the Cause of Their Deaths is a indictment of corrupt jail systems, as well as a homage to those demanding justice for themselves and their communities in Harris County and around the nation.
