The incarceration rate for American-Americans is so high that young black men without a high
school diploma are more likely to go to jail than to find a job, thereby causing the breakup of
families and instilling further poverty upon them.
“Prison has become the new poverty trap,” Bruce Western, a Harvard sociologist, told the New
York Times. “It has become a routine event for poor African-American men and their families,
creating an enduring disadvantage at the very bottom of American society.”
While few would argue against locking up murderers and rapists, many social scientists have
begun to discuss the problem of imprisoning too many people – especially when those people

director of the Public Safety Performance Project of the Pew Center on the States. “Corrections
is the second fastest growing state budget category, and state leaders from both parties are
now finding that there are research –based strategies for low-risk offenders that can reduce
crime at far less cost than prison.”
But while the cost of keeping prisoners might be high for government, the cost is even higher
for African-Americans – especially to poverty-stricken families who lose a relative to the penal
system.
