race and corrections  

Definición

  • Prisons in most countries incarcerate disproportionate numbers of minorities. In few places are the problems of race and corrections more apparent than in the United States, where some current forecasts suggest that by 2020 almost two out of three African men and one out of four Hispanic men between the ages of eighteen and thirty-four will be in prison (Donziger 1996: 106).
