Mass Incarceration, Visualized 

Can we take a second to appreciate the amazingly compelling visuals?

"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Frederick Douglass~American Abolitionist

Never once does he mention the fact that single motherhood is a massive issue

Mass incarceration works

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 that’s on our broken culture 😔 especially father absence.

The thing about Mass Incarceration for crimes that don't see Incarceration in other social groups.

Dont commit crimes you wont end up in jail, not hard to figure out, must be impossible for some low IQ individuals to figure out

You’re acting like these black people are just walking down the street getting pulled into cop cars. People (and communities) need to take personal responsibility.

This is a very heartbreaking truth for a person like me with a sensitive and cognitive sensibility.

"why are so many black men in prison??" "becuz racism das y" brilliant.

what did you expect, if the af r i c a matrix has always been aggressive,

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.

Stop committing violent crime then you won't go to prison it's that easy

Just watch the Netflix 13th documentary it explains the history behind mass incarceration

In a country with the common law and the jury system, mass incarceration is caused by mass criminal behavior.

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

This is sickening!!! Why not Chinese? Why not Indians or Arabs or Greek? Why blacks are in shit while this country is the land of so much choices??? I am living in Siberia and have only 10% of the possibilities to education/medicine/jobs/entertainments/money/buisness/logistics/banks and struggle but do well... and these bastards cry about shit that they do to themselves? Human waste...

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.

key word in this narrative: CHOSEN thank u

I've come up with an idea that I believe just might put an end to mass incarceration: stop committing crimes !

Great video ! Thanks so much for spreading stories that need to be told

Low IQ. It’s not the system, it’s the people.

Studies consistently show that your chances of going to jail go way down if you refrain from commiting crime.

imagine telling a rape victim we cant lock him up cause the incarceration rate is high... I wish the police in my country was this effective in punishing criminals

Behave yourselves

Stay in school,get a trade,leave other people and their property alone,work and pull your weight. There's common law in UK:- do not cause loss or harm to anyone or anything, covers everything

Black people get longer times on some crimes on purpose prisons are for profit u gotta keep on making money so why not change the justice system and also overall during the 80’s minimum prison sentences increased for felonies

Thanks for the info and visuals

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.

Incarceration is the highest stress a human being can experience

The image of the web of solutions @2.05 in the video is misleading. I'd like to see the improvement of "mass incarceration" without culture changes (completing schooling, fathers in the household, abandonment of government welfare and shining a light on the values of discipline, delayed gratification and integrity). Public shaming? Halfway houses? Fines that possibly cannot be paid? Really?

Stop WELLFARE checks.

Thank the crime bill

a good portion of these criminals in jail are from single mothers. if we as society stop rewarding teen pregnancies we wont have this many criminals. baby mommas can have several kids out of wedlock by many diff men and we have to feed all these babies until they are old enough to be arrested for their life of crimes. it is a revolving door same cycle of illiteracy and poverty being on welfare just having babies left and right. my question is - how many years people are gonna do this until they figure out to change something for the better?

Mass incarceration because mass crimes

Here is a idea...STOP BREAKING THE FUCKING LAW!!!!

This is eye opening! And I must say the graph designer did a great job with this video. 👍👍

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

People shouldn't be arrested for doing drugs, especially weed, that's idiotic.

Stop having 4 babies with 3 different fathers. That would be a start..

Break the law, go to jail

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? Maybe the problem is not incarceration but a lack of quality education within the African American community? "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." Frederick Douglass~American Abolitionist

You do the crime you get the time, doesn't matter if a social group doesn't like the general statistic, maybe reduce crime, stick with work, and stop ignoring safety for fun.

Would they be in prison if they didn't commit any crime..? would they be criminals if they had a responsable father in the house instead of being raised by a bitter single mother without any discipline..?

The illustration suggests that within the variety of ways the US could have chosen to respond to crime is "public shaming". How would that have been organized?

Wouldn't it be cheaper, less cruel and more deterrent to just cut off a criminal's limbs?

We are not incarcerating a whole group UNLESS the group can NOT conform It all has to do with standards of behavior that these groups can't meet ?? All the other groups can meet ???

Maybe educate youngs to NOT crime can be a better solution than dont arrest

very interesting video.

One word "JOB"....OR TWO WORDS,,,MOVE,,THEN JOB...crazy concept huh..maybe at lease obey the law.

I guess I'm cynical but when they mentioned the inter-generational part my first thought was "be a sperm donor"

In a truly free country, Fernando can walk down his street, past the law officer smoking a joint, throwing a net in the water at the beach next to his house, catch fish, have a cookout w a beverage from B.C. times, listen a drumming and guitar folk music being played by people on the beach next to him, sleep in his tent, and head for his home the next day and onto the fish market. ...HMMM let us see how many laws he has broken if this was say, a suburb of sorry..N.J. but say New Jersey. That's a $6000 life-changing event. Throwing a net? !!!More than three hocks on a line or using the ability to harvest fish in mass quantities? Highly Illegal. $500 Fine. Revocation of fishing privileges.You get it....Noise violations, open fire violations, Vagrancy, public intoxication. I am sure he must pay a market fee to sell his fish but that is an honest business. WE ARE OVERBURDENED WITH LAWS .... GET IT !!!! ... So sad people so sad. And it's not all a race thing. We are robots to their belief system. Neighbors against neighbor, pointing fingers, their own army is us against us. Goerge Carlson, Rodney Piper, Pres. Kennedy, Regan, and others have warned you. Someone please lay down some u tube links to open the sheeps minds...New Edit Wrote this to make ppl think, discuss. Im not hear to promote over fishing, pissing ppl off w loud music I'm not always the one discussing. Remember these are two different countries in example. One country w a lower incarceration rate than the other. Take the test now. This is my ONLY point. What country has the highest incarceration rate. Answer:____________. feel free to do some research first.

what does he mean with: "....a historically aggrieved group whose liberty in the United States was never firmly established to begin with"

Some demographics commit crimes at higher rates than others. Don't push the narrative that people are generally in jail not because of a crime but merely because of their skin colour.

Its not because they committed crimes, that has nothing to do with it right?...lol DONT BREAK THE FUCKIN LAW AND YOU DONT GO TO JAIL ITS SIMPLE. Stop trying to make excuses.

Russia and China may one day free these innocent black kids

the new jim crow

thank you for this

they create 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 a couple decades ago. In the 80's our county jail in a small town of 6,000 thousand had 22 bunks... now it has 200 and is always full. Hundreds of people are on probation at anytime as well. 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... 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.

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

Just don't break the law?

They're not taking away these criminals' liberty as much as they are protecting the liberty of the people they would seek to harm.

But y’all praise Biden 😔 and this same man who had those principles back then y’all really think he cares now.

Everybody else is to blame eh....

For those of you interested in the song. us.audionetwork.com/track/searchkeyword?keyword=Fripped+Out

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.

Stop committing crime

17-19 million blk men in the usa. Only about 700k blk men are incarcerated. The total number of all race & genders, in all prisons/jails, is barely 2million.

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!

13/50

If you don’t wanna go to jail, don’t commit crimes.

The system is horrible but if you are a gang member unemployed selling weed and you are caught red handed stealing a car it stuff from Walmart then your chances of going to prison is skyrocketed compared a guy who gets off work at 530 and driving home.

watching in 2020.

Sorry not sorry but if ur dangerous you should rot in jail, idgaf frankly

hey you guys said one in nine children have incarcerated parents. My question for you is when was this statistic recorded? in the slide titled "Risk of parental imprisonment by age 14" it goes from 15% to 28% which both aren't one in nine, plus you never specify what counts as a child in the one in nine section. is it 17 or below? or is it 14 like the slide says. Thanks

why does the media not talk more about this? they are still second class citizens today.

I think that the blacks in America have been treated awful bad for a long time. But today there has been major progress. Lynching Jim crow laws are things of the past. People be they white black Hispanic Indian Asian need to stop blaming and whining. I think if you can't do the time don't commit the crime

Dude it is everyone not just black.

2:02 A 2020 report by the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse stated that "In the records of defendants prosecuted for child sexual abuse offences" among those in which ethnic background was recorded "the vast majority were white (89%); 6% were Asian, 3% were Black, 1% were from mixed ethnic backgrounds and 1% were ...

Dont do crime, full stop.

Kinda wanna cry now...

NEW JIM CROW

Wow. Powerful stuff.

I'm suprized the downvotes are so low.

Why is there an Australian commenting on this?

What is sex offender treatment????? Is that what we should give to r kelly and epstein?🙄

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

Joining the fight !!!

This is insane

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. A lot of people dnt believe in God because of the perversion that comes with it. But believe these words: He is. Wicket ways will fall. the weak and destitute will rise up.

Don't break the law.

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

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.

Why does the guy on the video have a thick Aussie accent if he is talking about the American penal system?

Justice system is very lenient in America

If it was racism, all non whites would have higher rates of crime, prosecution, and incarceration. However Asians and Indians(from India) have much lower rates. Therefore, if it’s systemic, its culturally systemic. And not white cultural. 🤷🏿

El Salvador has world's highest incarceration rates per Capita. They are the smallest country with the biggest prison in latinamerica.

Cant do the time dont do the crime.

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
