While serving as California's top cop, Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) oversaw the incarceration of at least 127,000 Black and Hispanic Californians, data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.
These data, based on reports from and a request to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), almost certainly undercount the total number of individuals who were sent to prison while Harris served as state attorney general. Still, they reveal that at least 44,172 black offenders and 83,370 Hispanic offenders were newly admitted to California's prisons between 2011 and 2016, compared to 48,761 whites and 11,182 "other"-identified individuals.
Percentage-wise, these figures translate into 23.6 percent of new incarcerees being black and 44.5 percent being Hispanic. By way of comparison, as of July 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that 39.1 percent of Californians were Hispanic/Latino and just 6.5 percent were black or African American.
In other words, there is a profound racial disparity between the group sent to prison and California as a whole: the sort of disparity Harris's ideological peers routinely decry as racist.

ReplyDeleteForgive her. Her years of an extra marital affair with mayor Willie Brown has got her locking up blacks while complaining about racism. Its a women scorned, they can act a$$ backwards....And she is
ReplyDeleteSounds like she was doing good work.What happened?.
ReplyDeleteWhat are they trying to say? That blacks are sent to prison for no reason at all. My guess is they lock up whoever commits the crime. Everyone knows that blacks commit the majority of the crimes here in America.
