Baltimore Sun: Study: 1 in 5 young black city men in jail 52 percent are in prison or on parole or probation (A much older set of stats (1995), since the number of black males in prison has gone up 500% since 1980) http://www.cjcj.org/pubs/punishing/punishing.html * One in three black men between the ages of 20 and 29 were under some form of criminal justice control (in prison, jail, parole or probation) in 1995.12 Other studies have shown that half the young men in Washington, DC, and more than half of the young men in Baltimore are under criminal justice control;13 * A black male born in 1991 stood a 29% chance of being imprisoned at some point in his life, compared to 4 percent for a white male born that year;14 * 1.4 million African American men, or 13 percent of the black adult male population have lost the right to vote due to their involvement in the criminal justice system. In the states with the most restrictive voting laws, 40 percent of African American men are likely to be permanently disenfranchised.15 Jerry Johnson Web Developer Dolan Media Company -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 5:38 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Gruss - Schiavo question I don't think the fact even applies to the United States.It is highly exaggerated.
