MAITLAND, FL—Charles A. Barfield’s new book My Brother’s Keeper ($21.99, hardcover, 9781498467209; $12.99, paperback, 9781498467193; $6.99, eBook, 9781498467216) is a compelling and important real life story of the horrendous and inexplicable prison wrongful death and medical negligence case within Florida and United States prison population. My Brother’s Keeper is a modern day David verses Goliath legal classic and showcases how the Florida Department of Corrections caused the wrongful death of his brother, Clifford E. Jones, Jr. and many poor and minority citizens. The 11 year legal battle involved two different juries, two different multimillion dollar verdicts, and two appeals.

 

Barfield says, “The State of Florida and other states are medically killing inmates without a crime or conviction of death. My brother's 20-month, minor drug conviction ended up being an illegal death sentence by the state of Florida with its hiring of inept medical professionals who lie and cover up inmate deaths. We must eliminate the civil cap on civil damages and abolish the sovereign immunity laws so that state governments can be held accountable and justice obtained.”

 

Mr. Charles A. Barfield is an attorney, author, and ordained minister and he was born and raised in Apalachicola, Florida, in the Florida panhandle. He prophetically told his brother at age 5, he would become an attorney and his first case would be over a million dollars. Never did he imagine that the prophecy would be his big brother’s medical death and cover-up.
