The prison population is made up by about 40% black people in the United States, however the population of black people in America is only about 13%. This disproportionate number speaks volumes to our unjust criminal justice system, but we must take control of our lives before getting wrapped up in that world. We must do better for our children; nationwide, African American children represent 32% of children who are arrested, 42% of children who are detained, and 52% of children whose cases are judicially waived to criminal court. Its start now and it starts with us.
