**The problem that I chose to talk about is the number of minoritiesin jail from 2000 to 2007. Its is said that blacks that were born in 2001 will have a one and five chance of going to jail in there lifetime. If the current trends continue. Blacks are almost three times more likely than hispanics and five times more likely than whites. And spanish are more likely to go to jail then a white person.by me being have black and have hispanic i have a more than likely chase of being liked up.

The way the world is set up today i am doomed to go to jail. And the jail sytem is set up for you to stay in jail. and if you do get out there is not much u can do to redem yourself. to me me it is kinda semi-racist because for some reason mostly minorities go to jail. but some we will be the mojority. white g to jail in mass amount like if there part of the kkk or arian nation.

Unban area's are more opressed and blacks and hispanics live in those areas. so they are the ones who go to jail. whites are provided with more so so they dont want for much.witch means they are less like to comite a crime and go to jail. on the other hand a if a black person does not have food they are going to do what they have do wether it's legal or ilegal. plus a black person is less likely to commite sucide then a white person.**

laura k.egendorf (2001). //violence opposing veiwpoints// (first E.d). san diego,ca: greenhaven press,inc. === The total jail admissions in the region's county correctional facilities have declined steadily since 1997. While the proportion of minority inmates admitted in the region has simultaneously declined at an even faster rate, the number of minorities admitted remains disproportionate to their share of the regional population. === jeffery adams (2006, may 09). minority lock down. //crimes, 09,// 22 -23.
