Uh according to the DOJ/FBI statistics they do.
A report out today from The Sentencing Project, a Washington, D.C.-based research and advocacy center, found that Black Americans are incarcerated at nearly 5 times the rate of white Americans, whereas Latino Americans are imprisoned 1.3 times the rate of white Americans.
According to the report, Black Americans are incarcerated at a state average of 1,240 per 100,000 residents, whereas Latino Americans are imprisoned at a rate of 349 per 100,000 residents. White, non-Latino Americans, meanwhile, are incarcerated at 261 per 100,000 residents.
A national view of U.S. incarcerated populations by race and ethnicity shows high rates of disparity among the country's communities of color and white Americans, especially among Black communities.
While Black Americans are on average 4.8 times more likely to be incarcerated than white Americans, in some states such as
New Jersey, Black Americans can be up to 12.5 times more likely to be incarcerated than white Americans.
Hawaii demonstrates the lowest differential of Black to white American imprisonment, as shown by the map below. However, Black Americans in Hawaii are still over twice as likely to be incarcerated than white residents.
