The great nation of the United States was founded on the golden principles of freedom and equality for all. In fact, equality of the African Americans was the very basis for the American Civil War. However, even after so many years after the Civil War, the African Americans are still treated with discrimination. Even the criminal justice system of the U.S., which is considered to be the most extensive throughout the world, does not ensure equality of the black Americans. Even though the African Americans constitute only about 13.3 percent of the population of the United States, the prisons are full of them. The major reason behind such racial disparities is the racial prejudice at the hands of the very people sworn in to protect the minorities, like police officials and judges. Furthermore, the policies of the government also significantly contribute to this undesirable trend. Black Americans are under great threat of being incarcerated, as they constitute almost half of the prison populations in the states of Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan, Alabama, Virginia, New Jersey, Louisiana and Virginia. This percentage is much more (at 72 percent) in Maryland. All these statistics demonstrate the high racial disparity faced by these people all across the United States.
