Incarceration separates young people from the guidance, support and ties they need to grow into responsible adults. However, in the United States, the odds remain high that youth charged with a crime will be sentenced. In the U.S., over 60,000 young people are in custody today. Generations of structural racism and disparities in how cases are handled. Young black, Latino and other people of color represent a disproportionate majority of youth population in prisons and federally controlled facilities.
68% of the incarcerated population in the Bureau of Prisons are Black and Brown individuals.
(BOP Statistics, June 2024)
More than half of federal prisoners are incarcerated for a drug offense, compared to just 16 percent of state prisoners.
