MASS INCARCERATION

‘Mass Incarceration' is all about the current America experiment in the imprisonment of Africa

America men. America mass imprisonment is currently going to great heights. The topic closely

talks about the racial discrimination of Africa America black men. According to my understanding

on these topics have come up with various reasons on how these black men are being

discriminated, where the black men have gone and the state denial that black men assume despite

the hard experiences in America.

In these topics, we have opened our minds to the brutality black men face in America whether

citizens there or immigrants. The drug war which was launched in America on social media,

magazines and even publically was not actually a drug war but black men war. According to my

analysis, this war was a way of eliminating and chasing away black men from white men's

territories. This is it because according to statistics on drug abuse it is clear that eighty percent of

drug abusers and peddlers are the white youths only thirty percent are black men. But it is so

paradoxical that with this statistic in hand, the jails and prisons in America are filled by black men

who are accused of drug usage and yet very few in those jails are Americans. Being a war on drugs

in America the largest percentage of prisoners are drug accusers while only a small percentage

covers crimes like conflict and murder. In this cells, the America criminals who are accused of

drug usage are very few. Mass incarceration is growing to greater heights because of the

consequently increasing number of Africa America men. During the campaign on drugs, America

puts very tight punishment on whoever caught on contempt of the law. They announced this crime

to be referred as a felon and its punishment to be a death sentence or life imprisonment in order to

sweep away the black men. This mass incarceration is going on in America because they believe

black men are not supposed to live with them, this discrimination is the one that causes all these

incarceration sagas. There are many areas where these Africa America men are being

discriminated, for instance in employment, owning property, accessing health facilities and

housing. (Alexander, 2010)

According to my review, the large number of black men missing in their homes is not because they

are irresponsible, immature, poor or unfaithful but because they are locked up in jails for crimes

they have not committed. Due to the discriminatory montage practices in America black men are

on probation or under correctional control systems where they are denied the freedom of accessing

their customers, food stamps and even the freedom of airing out their views. While in court they

are denied a chance to oppose their crimes since after being arrested they are directly taken to jail

for one month after which they are taken out and forced to accept their contempt of court. This is

only done to black men, this does not mean the Americans do not commit such crimes but actually,

such cases are rampant with the America youths but when caught in the crimes the police tend to

ignore. It is so surprising that the black men are rarely involved in such cases but are forced to

carry across that does not belong to them. As far as America feels to have triumphed over

inequality it is clear in these topics that equality is an unknown jargon to them. We get to see the

topics that when Baraka Obama is being nominated as a president, a certain percentage seem to

oppose it because he is a black American or a black man. It is due to this racial discrimination that

the mass incarceration is practiced in America. (Locking up Black Residents and Punishing The

Poor, 2014)

Mass imprisonment is a topic that clearly indicates that this black man did not come out of their

families by themselves, but they were handicapped to jail even leaving their important projects,

families, belongings and even occasions. While in prison, these black men lose what they had

covered including jobs, cars, and investments. This statement is witnessed by Clifford Ronald who

is arrested when in a burial of his loved daughter, the police give him no time to even view his

daughter for the last time but instead, they push him to custody without any more explanations

from him. This is the great reason why black women are widows and children fatherless.

According to my view, mass incarceration is trying to show us the challenges African people face

when in the White land. Again the topic on "Locking up black dissidents" shows the main missions

of Americans to come up with drunk war for they wanted to arrest African American people, to

some extends, these mass imprisonments bring out a far idea of how most people are suffering in

prisons and probations for crimes they never committed.

In my understanding mass incarceration is doing away with many lives, a thing that is experienced

in entire Africa, this is because the ratio of men to women is unbalanced. This is not because

newborn boys are less than newborn girls, but the fact is, most black men are rotting in probations,

jails and a small number is involved in gay in America and the rest married to white ladies. These

"black men" means black people in general. This is so because we see even women who were

learned are also getting imprisoned in America. For example, a single mother referred as Erma

Faye Stewart is imprisoned for the drunk crime and meets all these brutal sentences given in

American courts.

Finally, denial is an aspect that is contributing to mass incarceration in America. This is because

the successful people hide upon by the local black men are ignorant, for they do not solve this

issue of discrimination of black men in America. This incarceration is growing to greater heights

because, the rest of the black men who are not jailed, try to ignore this challenges and take a step

of migrating to America in many numbers making them increase the imprisonment cases.

(Alexander M. , 2010)

MASS INCARCERATION

In conclusion, these topics seem to be very important for they have really explored the mass

incarceration, a thing that many did not know. They try to table out the challenges faced by African

American residents and they have also enlightened us on the resolutions to this problems, for

example, by coming up with a campaign on Criminal justice forum. Again the topics have tried to

solve the problem of immigrants and lastly, it has tabled out the idea that, though we talk of rights

in our various countries, the rights have not yet been achieved by other countries.
