Mass Incarceration, Visualized
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- In this animated interview, the sociologist Bruce Western explains the current inevitability of prison for certain demographics of young black men and how it's become a normal life event. "We've chosen the response of the deprivation of liberty for a historically aggrieved group, whose liberty in the United States was never firmly established to begin with," Western says.
In The Atlantic's October cover story, Ta-Nehisi Coates explores the impact of mass incarceration on the black family. Read the full story: theatln.tc/1MnL4Gf

Never once does he mention the fact that single motherhood is a massive issue
Grant Smith
Well Grant, that’s because if he did he’d be telling the truth, and god forbid they’d then be solutions to that huge problem.
But see, no one will say anything about it because women hold power through voting because they vote more. So then criticising women for those horrible choices wouldn’t be a good thing for a politicians election bid.

I had a friend who got 20 years of prison for marijuana possession. It's so upsetting to see such excessive punishment for such mundane crimes.
And the fact that its getting leagalized across the majority of the nation just adds to the irony

Stay out of trouble, children. Stay in school, make good grades, and when you graduate, move on to something else productive. Join the workforce, join the military, go to trade school or go to college.
However, doing these things will not stop the predatorial policing tactics mainly projected towards the black community.

Black people don't "commit crimes", they just magically become "incarcerated". The liberals who pander to Blacks, patronize them, and strip them of all responsibility & agency have careful use of language to make it look like all of their problems are external, and not the result of any actions they took. Trayvon Martin was shot for buying skittles, not for beating a man's skull into the concrete. 2 + 2 = 5

Mass incarceration works
Based
Why the hell is this comment at the top of my que lol
what did you expect, if the af r i c a matrix has always been aggressive,
In a country with the common law and the jury system, mass incarceration is caused by mass criminal behavior.
not really, they have created new laws all the time making things that would have been a fine 30 years ago into 5 year prison terms. In several states you can go to prison for misdemeanors for 5 years that were only punishable by 30 days in jail. In the 80's our county jail in a town of 6 thousand had 22 bunks... now it has 200 and is always full. Prosecutors seek the harshest penalty they can get and judges go along with them. And GOD FORBID you have a 30 year old criminal record... you get even a misdemeanor and they send you to prison for 5 years... plus even when you are innocent it doesn't matter if you know anything about the criminal justice system because if you take something to trial the jury WILL CONVICT YOU OF SOMETHING IF YOU HAVE A RECORD... it is so common that they even have a work for it "compromised verdict.".. They all know it is the case, so prosecutors force innocent people to take no contest pleas or knowingly face a harsher conviction and more lengthy penalty for a crime they never committed... perhaps often times for a crime that never even occurred.
@Sierra Barrett Innocence projects, often sponsored by law schools, free very few prisoners.
Then you must explain why there was a mass rise in criminal behavior, the factors, remedies, etc. Was it just specifically this one group of people sharing the same race and similar economic woes turning to violent crime all of a sudden because they’re wired differently and stopped pretending to be civilized?
Highly unlikely, especially since some tenets of that are outright false.
@@wildfire9280 The mass imprisonments are caused by felony convictions rendered by juries of at least 12 after grand jury indictments rendered by separate juries of at least 12 and often more than 12 randomly selected without discrimination based on class. race, ethnicity or sex.
Studies consistently show that your chances of going to jail go way down if you refrain from commiting crime.
Wrongfully convinced people: *Surprise pikachu face
Telling blacks not to commit horrible crimes is like telling flame not to be hot.
In England if you just keep your mouth shut. Speak when spoken to and completely comply. You never have an issue where things turn violent. It is normally when people are swearing and resisting that they were forcefully restrained and arrested violently.
Lucky you
It's the same in America
This is a very heartbreaking truth for a person like me with a sensitive and cognitive sensibility.

Exactly, chris.
I wonder what changed in the 1980s-90s to push the government towards increased incarceration? Jim Crow was getting pushed back in the 60s-70s, was that part of it? A backlash? I know war on drugs was a huge part of the Reagan era but there were drugs in the 60s-70s too, why was 80s-90s such a huge carceral era?
@@lilithgrrrl you either don't have a grasp on the war on drugs or you're trolling because you kinda answered your own question there. After Lyndon Johnson's terms, the parties agendas kinda switched and America was pretty divided and over time grew more or less racist. The reason why the litteraly every canidate was "hard on crime" after nixon was in office was because you couldn't get elected without it. Due to propaganda and scapegoating drugs as a common problem among americans. Its lot of other stuff you should know already, but search John Ehrlichman and read his statement. Once reagan was in office it just got worse. Basically the war on drugs was an elaborate mask to hide the minority and counter culture antipathy.
@@lilithgrrrl also wanted to note that policies that were implemented severely changed the judicial and policing system, and double standards were magnified. Judges had to give mandatory life sentences for even the smallest amounts of drugs and drug deals if they were racist or not. Also other subtle factors that created and huge imbalances were things like propaganda, media, and laws that give longer sentences for the exact same drug 🤷🏽♂️. But we're all on the side of change here, I hope.

Great video ! Thanks so much for spreading stories that need to be told
Using the argument that the government is at fault for black people being incarcerated more is like saying the government doesn't treat men and women equally because more men are homeless than women. They both don't make sense
I guess the government is racist against white people as well because there's more whites in prison in America than Asians that are in prison right?

Ok so now explain why all the popular music of black youth praises criminal activity if increase prison and jail population is just all persecution. If you go and do crime, you will be caught and put in jail, it's not about oppressing a certain class of people, it's about protecting the innocent victims from monsters who make it their lifestyle to prey on others.
I think its more about the amount of time given for petty crimes and first offenses ect. Black men almost always got more time and lot of them are innocently locked up not all but a lot are.
@@adenise676 Or maybe its because when boys grow up without an involved father they learn to confront authority to get their way rather than to obey the law.

True but a lot of them are not in there for weed, sooo...

How effective are social rehabilitation programs at actually stopping crime within a community compared to incarceration? What percentage of the community are victims of crimes in a community that implements social rehabilitation programs compared to a community that implements incarceration. If the majority of African Americans that are incarcerated are high school drop outs, then what has been done to prevent this?

Stop committing violent crime then you won't go to prison it's that easy
What if your poor and you end up going to court for something that you didn’t do, and now your facing a decision, A: go to court and get a lawyer offered to you by the court, who god forbids has NO experience under their belt whatsoever, lose your case and get locked up for 15 years.
Or B: Take a plea deal and "admit” to a crime that you had NOTHING to do with, just to accept a lesser sentence of 5 years. What would you do in this situation?🤔. Then come bacc and tell me how "Easy” it is to stay out of prison.

what does he mean with: "....a historically aggrieved group whose liberty in the United States was never firmly established to begin with"
African American's were brought to the united states as slaves and were in that position for about 350 years. They were then subjected to racial segregation and discrimination up until the late 1960s when the civil rights movement was starting a revolution. That was about 50 years ago, at that point blacks were still trying to gain positions in many different areas. Mass incarceration was introduced in the 1980s with the "War on drugs" initiative. What he means by that statement is throughout American history the Black community has face numerous severe challenges and to this day still have not had any solutions that target the problem. Jail and imprisonment is somewhat of a societal bandaid that allows the government to ignore people who have mental illness or substance abuse issues. Obviously criminals are breed in communities where poverty is rampant. Anyways I could go on and on about this, but i'm sure you get the point.

Some might argue it's because of the culture, but we must realize cultures are created by people.
The system isn't some separate thing. The system is the reason why there are, for example "low IQs". People don't just exist in vacuums. The system influences and informs the quality of life people will have.

And GOD FORBID you have a 30 year old criminal record... you get even a misdemeanor and they send you to prison for 5 years... even when you are innocent! Innocence doesn't matter if you know anything about the criminal justice system because if you take something to trial the jury WILL CONVICT YOU OF SOMETHING IF YOU HAVE A RECORD... it is so common that they even have a word for it "compromised verdict.".. They all know it is the case, so prosecutors force innocent people to take no contest pleas or knowingly face a harsher conviction and more lengthy penalty for a crime they never committed... perhaps often times for a crime that never even occurred. Now, the law allows prosecutors to use your record regardless of how old it is as PROOF in and of itself that you committed any alleged crime. The prison system became a money making opportunity for many wealthy people who do all they can to keep their cash cow going.
All the more reason to stay out of prison, IN THE FIRST PLACE, you dingbat. Don't be a criminal. There - problem solved. Enough with the blame game, michael.

They're not taking away these criminals' liberty as much as they are protecting the liberty of the people they would seek to harm.
PRECISELY!
why does the media not talk more about this? they are still second class citizens today.
They behave like it. Like animals.
@@daftwod You talk like an animal. It is because of people like you we are constantly being treated this way. How are we supposed to "level up" when we have never had the stepping stones to do so?
Not everyone understands also though so much is more complicated than that and not everyone in trouble is guilty though. There is systematic corruption I personally have seen that plot and setup to ruin good people and are in a position with no way to see what is going on and no defense or means to so it’s more to capitalize on.
or maybe... just maybe if you can't do the time don't do the crime!
I wish I got to choose what I spent my tax dollars on!
Cheers for that input, Sarah.
EXACTLY, Sarah!
thank you for this
Dude it is everyone not just black.
Right, but they have been hit harder than any other group
Why a person goes to jail? Because he or she breaks law🙃, this is so simple why does it have anything to do with race
Liberals carefully change words around regarding Blacks, to make it seem as if they are the victims of external forces. Blacks are incarcerated at high levels---- they don't commit "crimes" at high levels, it's as if incarceration is just something that happens like getting struck by lightning.
@Texan Distributist Glad he burned alive in a cabin, rather than sat around in a jail cell. The judge would of never given him the penalty he deserved, but the police tracking him down sure did. Crispy fried Christopher!
EXACTLY, Yinan! Unfortunately, common sense still proves too complex for the cognitive capacity of some of those around us. 👇👇👇
Because that would imply that it’s a accountability issue rather than a race one and that takes away vested interests and money for politics.
SF Drone & Piano Guy i love how everyone says that liberals love to play victim and use that as an argument instead of actually giving a competent response or even try to understand what the other side is saying. I’m more in the middle politically, and y’all are biased as fuck.

Stop committing crime
That's far too simple, effective, and common sense oriented. We can't have THAT now....
Dont do crime, full stop.
Sorry not sorry but if ur dangerous you should rot in jail, idgaf frankly

Sorry but no one put your head down and forced you to take those drugs

I think i have an idea that just might put an end to mass incarceration: STOP COMMITTING CRIMES !!!

What is sex offender treatment????? Is that what we should give to r kelly and epstein?🙄
Sex offender treatment? Oh that must be for white kids who sext. You have to realise that what started out as a political trick to gain votes by incarcerating despised minorities now threatens everyone. And then of course there is asset seizure, so being middle class will not help you. The justice system is now run by criminals. The only way out is direct action against these criminals.
El Salvador has world's highest incarceration rates per Capita. They are the smallest country with the biggest prison in latinamerica.
Kinda wanna cry now...
Boo-hoo. The criminals are in prison. Here's a tissue. Get your head on straight, tyrah.
Ok so on one hand it says we incarcerated 698 people per 100k next slide it says 2.207 plus 966 plus 380 per 100k now idk about you but those don't add up to be 698
The low levels of schooling do not cause the crime, rather the two share a common cause, which is low eye que. Now these people's lives are just as important as yours or mine, and the system has no hope of fixing the problem without honestly describing it.
bro u literally cant even spell IQ LMFAOO. people like u are insufferable asf
What do you mean by “important life”?? How are you measuring the “importance” of someone’s life over another?? Isn’t is already assumed life is important? I don’t understand this new wave of saying “lives matter and are important” like of course they are???? That’s why every one of us have human rights….but you don’t get something extra because you are a certain color. We are more racist in this country against whites than we are against blacks. There are actual laws written to put blacks ahead of whites, there is no law saying whites get preferential treatment over blacks, but there is vis versa.
@Nesta Marley who cares if they owned slaves. sucks to suck. My ancestors were slaves at one point also. But they fucking left that country
@Nesta Marley owning a slave isn't an immediate no no. Those were the times back then. Sorry about it, but black people were slaves and they were sold to jews by black leaders in Africa and then the jews sold them to white folks
Why does the guy on the video have a thick Aussie accent if he is talking about the American penal system?
Yeah, it's usually a British or foreign person narrating and pointing out things so they seem "superior" when in fact their countries also have major issues and challenges.
Justice system is very lenient in America
You've got THAT right! That's why there is so much recidivism.
No it isn’t.
@@ems3832 that’s not true. There is recidivism because the American justice system is so bad at rehabilitation. They punish but do little to reform criminals. Look at other countries with less sever consequences that have lower recidivism rates. It’s because they focus on rehabilitation and programs.
This world has a thick curtain blocking our God given right to see things as they are. Lift it or we all may suffer the likes of which we have never seen.

Just don't break the law?

Keep in mind that 46% of people in prison are there because of simple possession charges. Poor people tend to turn to drug dealing due to a lack of opportunity for education or employment in their community. Our county has arbitrarily high sentences for drugs/drug dealing. We have these high sentences because we have a very old and unscientific drug scheduling system that we refuse to update. We have not updated this drug scheduling system because private prisons lobby to keep the system as is. These private prisons lobby because they benefit off of keeping their facilities full. This is a very vicious and unfair cycle.
So, maybe your comment should be 'Just update the US Drug Scheduling System and end private prisons' instead of "Just don't break the law?"
+SKRIMEO
I completely agree with you. Alcohol was once arbitrarily made illegal. When this substance was illegal, Booze runners and Bootleggers were considered criminal. These Bootleggers resorted to making alcohol because they were poor and their communities had no access to adequate education or jobs. Once alcohol became legal, there were no more Bootlegging charges and the prison population dropped. Also, millions of families were able to come out of poverty because they were able to legally profit from the alcohol they were already making by establishing bars, breweries, etc. An entire industry sprouted out of ending the prohibition of alcohol in America and boosted this nation's GDP. So, the problem was not the alcohol, it was arbitrary legal status of alcohol that was the issue.
Now, lets apply this same line of thought to "drugs" today. Just like it was during the Prohibition Era, our current drug scheduling system is unscientific, arbitrary, and criminalizes harmless behavior. There is nothing wrong with selling most of these substances people are getting locked up for (Weed, Shrooms, LSD are pretty harmless. Even pure, uncut Cocaine has medicinal qualities). Our society has just pushed arbitrary Christian social norms onto other people under the guise of "morality" and "public health". We are actually doing more harm and creating more poverty with our current drug policy.
@sotojoe8
That is a good point. Im confused about why you used the word "race card", given that I never even touched on the subject of race. What do you do if you get arrested at the age of 15 for a drug possession case because you were just trying to bring in money to help your parents pay the rent? That charge will kinda throw a wrench in the whole military thing, now wont it? Why do you justify having a a completely arbitrary drug policy? Why not just change this simple thing so that we can stop wasting money for state and private prisons? Why justify a system that arbitrarily creates "criminals" based off of old arbitrary Christain norms?
They were probably in there for simple drug charges, but they could have had a history of committing crimes(violent or nonviolent, who knows). That tends to add on. Also depends on the judge, your lawyer (which are stupid variables to consider) but its true.
@@RAGE1agression In all of these studies, they hold prior offenses constant. That is the sort of "No shit, Sherlock" sort of thing that even an undergrad research assistant would think to hold constant lol. The other things you mentioned are unfortunate factors though. Access to a decent lawyer really does make a difference, which is a huge class issue.
2:04 it shows the web of what should be "better options" why the heck y'all but parole on there then...parole is what happens after you are released from prison. Probation is an amazing alternative dont get me wrong but there is a pretty big difference one being go to prison first and not going to prison first

I guess cops just shouldn't arrest criminals if they are black.
