"Accused Black Men" In America's Prisons

I've read many articles in papers and in magazines of why there are so many black men in prison. I'm a white man, also in prison, and I have been in prison for "25" years. In that period I've had to interact with all races in prison. I must say it's not a fun ride to be with so many crazy ass jiving people. I can understand why they are locked up. For one reason, only criminal behavior takes to the street at night, hanging out as it is called. Decent folks don't rob old people, banks, stores and conning people at every chance they get. They don't join gangs or terrorize their neighborhoods and they loot stores in their neighborhoods. These men are locked up because they deserve it. Most of them in prison are loud, obnoxious, and ignorant people that still do the same behavior they did while on the streets including selling their drugs among the inmate population and murdering those that refuse to pay for the drugs. All this is done on the streets. There is a lot of people that would disagree with what I've said but I've lived here and witnessed first hand how so many blacks ended up in this mud hole. Their behaviors line up with why the police arrested them for in the first place. I AM NOT a racist and I know these men do not represent main stream American black people. One thing is for sure, we all have to lay down and sleep, but do we have a clear conscience and confidence that we've made a difference in America? Many here don't understand that...
