Divided justice: Trends in black and white jail incarceration, 1990-2013 (2018, February) by R. Subramanian, K. Riley & C. Mai for Vera Institute of Justice “Black jail incarceration rates have fallen significantly since the nationwide peak in 2005; in contrast, white jail incarceration rates have steadily grown across all regions and jurisdiction types since 1990.… While recent declines in black rates may indicate some progress in reducing racial imbalances in jail incarceration, black people remain 3.6 times more likely to be incarcerated in local jails nationally than white people.” According to the report, in 1990, blacks were 7 times more likely to be in jail. “Complete and accurate data provides a starting point for more fine-grained analyses that will clarify the reasons behind recent jail trends by race. But data is not a panacea for racial disproportionality—it is only a tool for tracing each group’s pathway to the jailhouse door. Once those drivers of jail incarceration are better understood, determining potential ways to close that door will likely become more apparent.”
