Caryn York, executive director of the Job Opportunities Task Force and Nicole Hanson, director of Out for Justice, talk about why black girls are punished more harshly  than any other demographic and are the largest growing population in the prison system. Black women are given stereotypical handles like aggressive and hostile. Instead of dealing with the trauma that comes from a lack of investment in and support for black women, we criminalize them.

  1. Now I see why black women are acting like men…because they are going to jail and having sex with other women in prison and if aids was dangerous?? why are these women are not dying in jail from AIDS?? From performing sex on each other?

  2. Well this isn't accurate. The imprisonment rate for black women fell steeply from 1980 to 2020. They are still over represented as 1.7 times more black women than white are in prison as a percentage of the overall population

  3. This is the result of single motherhood. Nothing will change unless this is addressed. Of course, it won't be addressed because single mother are heroes, right?

  4. Actually, from my experience, this is not a surprise. Black women are known to behave without the smallest amount of reason or logic. I'm willing to wager most if not all of these women were raised by a single mother. Coincidence? I think not.

  5. Prison = Profit. Prison labor is free. Solution. Home school. Leave the system. Learn how to live for free globally. FreeHousingProject dot com | Super easy solution.

  6. Many of my black women have been abandoned by their fathers. It causes insecurities anger frustrations trust issues depression etc. I seen it with all the daddyless women in my family. Dysfunctional families is the start. I been to many countries with other black women and i hate to say they not as messed up mentally as my sistas in america…..

  7. I'm more than sure the Judge didn't drop the gavel and say " 10 years in prison for being a black woman" how about the charge of endangering your children?

  8. This is not a gender issue; this is an anti-black issue. There are far more black men in prison than there are black women, and both of those situations adversely affect the black community as a whole.

  9. Well when you have a group of women who are not held accountable teaching daughters to not have accountability you teach them to despise structure, order, and discipline when they are forced to adhere rules they tend to break rules and sometimes those rules are laws and the rules are applied to them. Black women are getting their nigga moment from white liberals now once they took out many men. These same judges locking black women are liberals as well. I wonder why when it comes to law enforcement these liberals don’t show black women mercy: the same liberals that they vote for? Hmmmmmmmm.

  10. I've never been to jail and my bank St Louis community credit union denied me life ins bcuz I have panic attacks remind u I been with ths bank for 10+yrs.

  11. Ask the thousands of White women who are brutally killed by black women every year. Don't forget to ask the unborn babies that were CARVED OUT of the White women who were also pregnant when they were brutalized by what can only be referred to as subhumans.
