Jail Rate for Young Blacks Hits All-Time High
By Stephanie A. Crockett, BET.com Staff Writer

Posted April 9, 2003 -- For the first time ever, there are more than two million people in jail or in prison, and an estimated 12 percent of them are African-American men aged 20 to 34, compared to 1.6 percent of White men in the same age group.

That's according to a recent report by the U.S. Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics. Allen Beck, chief prison demographer for the bureau, told the New York Times that it is the highest number ever measured.

Based on those statistics, the Bureau of Justice Statistics has calculated that 28 percent of Black men will be sent to jail in their lifetime.



I wonder how Quake will dispute government numbers.

yea but a lot of times they are put into a position where they are pressured to commit crimes, a black kid growin up in the ghetto, a white kid growin up in a middle class area, tell me whose most likely gonna commit more crimes? unless the kid goes psyco n sniffs cocaine and shoots up his school then its the black kid.

True, many blacks are raised in bad conditions and negative atmospheres, which mold their personality and beahviour accordingly.  Ofcourse a guy from a poor ghetto is more likely to commit a crime than a rich/middle class person, given the circumstances.  I'm not saying you can "justify" their crimes or anything though, because being human we have the ability to change, learn and grow, but its very hard for a poor guy not to steal for example, he does it cuz, well hes poor.

all these blacks gettin put in jail should learn some fuckin self control

i dont care if youre black,white,mexican,asian or what,where you grow up is not a excuse for commiting a crime.its their own decision to make but if they make the wrong one they deserve to be punished accordingly

its that simple

its that simple

1.Take a sociology course.
2.Study inequalities and class.
3.Grow the fuck up you racist piece of shit.

It's that simple.

lmao! keep it up my niggaz! haha

and whos this foo talkin, look it aint easy livin for blacks, ppl say thats bullshit but if you was black you would understand, i aint sayin life is hard for all blacks, but nuff niggaz cumin from hard situations n shit, i know i gotta hard life to, thats why im tryna work hard n shit yet still cant get a job. maybe if i ticked the box sayin "white" on the job applications i would get the job, i dunno.

anyways, yeah i agree wit wat ya sayin, if ya deal in crime ya gotta be ready to take the conseqeunces of it, but its on how we raised up and how we looked on in society for time is what makes shit mo tuff, but u wouldnt undastand a niggaz life.

but i do agree, sum ppl are plain dumb with wat they do.

peace

im racist? thats news to me

ok i guess we should make it like this

IF YOURE BLACK AND OR POOR DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT,WE'LL JUST LET IT SLIDE,NO BIG DEAL

lmao,everyone has a mind of their own,and if they choose to commit a crime then they have to face the circumstances no matter what their race may be

poor people might be more tempted to commit crime but noone has a gun to their head making them do it,so i think this is all a case of self control,maybe you should grow up and realize that

As well as the obvious sociological aspects of poverty leading to crime, another point is that richer (often white) people who commit big crimes, white collar-crimes that have terrible lasting effects, aren't chased and prosecuted like poor criminals plus they can get better representation and make better deals. So don't think its only poor Black guys commiting crimes, they're just the ones who can't beat an unfair system.
