Looking it up, and mind you this information is from Wiki.
‘People from BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) backgrounds constitute only 14% of the general population in England and Wales, but make up 25% of its prison population.’
‘In 2019 Lammy expressed deep concern at the extremely high proportion of BAME males in young offender institutions (they made up 51% of this prisoner population), saying that “England and Wales are now hitting an American scale of disproportionality in our youth justice system”.’
I remember in the last general election Tories’ platform was almost 95% about Brexit. The other 5% was lying about putting money in the NHS and truthfully asserting that they were going to put more cops on the streets to fight crime. I wouldn’t be surprised if this problem exacerbates in the near future.
Now I am wondering if miniority racial groups are overrepresented in prisons in the UK like they are in Freedomland.
