The Injustice System in America examines the following salient inquiries:
Do the above referenced statistics simply suggest some kind of coincidence or do they represent a tradition of deeply rooted disparate treatment
Do the ubiquitous leagues of minority inmates reflect a prejudice that still painfully reverberates through American courts

Why do wealthy, white Americans who deal in illegal drugs and other criminal subversive activity escape harsh treatment when their poor, minority counter-parts jam prison cells
