Question

Which statement about American prisons is correct?
A. More people are sent to prison for violent crimes than non-violent crimes.
B. Drug offenders are the main reason for increased jail population.
C. There are no alternatives to the traditional prison system for drug offenders.
D. White users are more likely to be imprisoned than African-Americans.

Answer 1

B. Because D is highly wrong! There are more African-American people in jail than other races. The large war on Drugs put MANY people in jail, yet the state will put anyone in for even the smallest thing. 

Most of some of the longer prison sentences were given for Drugs.. Other crimes maybe life, but not all.
