Why do Jails and Prisons contain more Blacks and Hispanics than White's?

I don't know, as a percentage, it may be more. But as a number, I would say there are more whites because whites are the majority race. It is not aa black problem as in we have different programing than whites, it is as you said an inner city issue, there is alot of poverty in inner cities and poverty leads to crime, alot of blacks live in inner cities. Not all blacks in the inner cities commit crime, but if you look at blacks from the suburbs that have had the same unbringing as alot of white kids have had, you see a difference in how they are alot of the time. One of the reasons I am not like that is because I had the opportunity that you have, I live in a safe upper cl suburb, that is mostly white but more black professionals are moving in. But it is not the race problem as much as it is a cl problem today.
