Inequality and injustice in the US criminal justice system

Hi,

Found your wiki page to be super informative and I too liked how you backed up what you were saying with statistics. One suggestion I have is to look up Michelle Alexander's article called "The New Jim Crow." She speaks about the United States criminal justice system and the issue of mass incarceration of African Americans and how this originated. The criminal justice system is a vehicle for social control and when we see such a high number of African Americans in prison, it really sheds light on other social issues that are at play such as racism. The war on drugs, coined by Nixon or the tough on crime era are also worth researching and perhaps adding into your wiki. Once again I really enjoyed reading about this topic and I wish you the best of luck.
