Overview

Observational analysis reveals economic disparities in mass incarceration, highlighting risks of recidivism.

Key Points

  • Economic and social disparities persist in the mass incarceration system, affecting reintegration into society.
  • Findings show disproportionate incarceration rates, particularly among young African American men without high school diplomas.
  • Analysis uses the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, covering a span from 1979 to 2020 and tracking trends.
  • Employment surveys often exclude incarcerated individuals, concealing critical inequalities affecting policy decisions.
