You have a Black working class, and the Black poor, that are trapped, isolated and left behind by the rest of society. And the one institution we now give them is prison and the criminal justice system. When I was a kid growing up in Atlanta in a working class African American community, there were two huge buildings in my neighborhood - one of them was a federal penitentiary, the other was a Ford plant. 30 years later, one of those buildings is closed, and the other is bigger.
