In The New <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/jim-crow-segregation-nasa\/\">Jim Crow<\/a>, Michelle Alexander discusses race and sentencing disparities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to understand racial sentencing disparities as discussed in The New Jim Crow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Courts Maintain Racial Sentencing Disparities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In McCleskey v. Kemp, the Supreme Court ruled that statistical evidence of bias was insufficient for discrimination &#8211; there needed to be clear evidence of conscious racial bias.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In this case in particular, the court believed that studying 2,500 cases with different personnel, officials, judges, and jurors did not present a clear enough explicit common mechanism.<\/li><li>However, rules bar litigants from obtaining information on prosecution motives and jury deliberations. Ironically, the catch-22 became: to prove their case, the litigant needed evidence that is only obtainable upon winning a case. Without the evidence, the litigant loses the case, which prevents them from gaining the evidence.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the motivation was the <strong>reluctance to question the integrity of the entire system<\/strong>. If drug war was shown to be racially biased, it might open up contests in the death penalty, life sentences, and other deeply embedded issues in racial sentencing disparities. Questioning prosecutorial discretion would upend countless cases. A \u201ctoo big to fail\u201d example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Court ruled that the state is immune from federal suits for damages; city police can\u2019t be sued for damages unless a specific explicit policy supports illegal practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In US vs Brignoni-Ponce, the Supreme Court ruled that race could not be the sole factor in police stop and searches, but that <strong>race <em>could<\/em> be a relevant factor as long as it\u2019s not the only one<\/strong>. This is just the start of the trajectory that includes racial sentencing disparities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Thus one could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stop-and-frisk-policy\/\">stop and search<\/a> for any factor correlated with race &#8211; clothing, age, and location.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Even something as seemingly impartial as prior criminal record is not race-neutral &#8211; since blacks are so much more likely to have criminal records.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Title VI prohibits federally funded programs, like police departments, from discriminating on race. However, in <em>Alexander v. Sandoval, <\/em>the Supreme Court ruled that private citizens and groups cannot sue on Title VI grounds &#8211; only the federal government could sue. Thus racial profiling challenges have disappeared and racial sentencing disparities continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Supreme Court decision obviously has trickle-down effects on federal and appellate courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, the New Jim Crow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Uses the War on Drugs to arrest large numbers of black men, through strong financial incentives and legal protection of discretion that may be racially biased.<ol><li>In essence, black men are <em>made <\/em>criminals at higher rates than white men, despite not having significantly higher rates of drug crime.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Hands down disproportionately harsh sentences to black men and limits effective legal representation (exacerbating racial sentencing disparities).<\/li><li>Imposes sanctions on ex-criminals outside of prison that prevent reintegration and encourage recidivism.<\/li><li>(Shortform addition: This environment (absent fathers, racial stigma) disadvantages black youth and adds them back into the cycle.)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Barriers to Overturning the New Jim Crow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many forces entrenching the current system, and therefore just as many obstacles preventing it from being upended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/black-power-and-civil-rights-movement\/\">Civil rights movements<\/a> used to be about grassroots organizing and gathering critical mass of public opinion. However, of late, civil rights organizations became professionalized, heavily centered on lawyers and litigation, and distanced from the communities they were supposed to represent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Lawyers focus on problems that can be solved with litigation. But mass incarceration isn\u2019t that problem, especially given the Supreme Court\u2019s barriers on litigation in this area, described above.<\/li><li>Plus, small policy changes, like lightening drug crime sentences, have little effect &#8211; it\u2019s entering the system itself that is a huge disadvantage.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are racial sentencing disparities?
