With 2.3 million people behind bars, the US is by far the biggest jailer in the world. 41% of them, or nearly one million of them are black and another 20%, or 460,000, are Latino. California leads the way in mass incarceration: 175,000 people currently locked up, with a plan to expand prison capacity by 53,000 using taxpayer dollars. The Children's Defense Fund asks why a black boy born in 2001 has a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime and a Latino boy a 1 in 6 chance? What are the conditions facing children of color and poor children that put them on the pipeline to prison rather than to college and good jobs?
