There is a big problem in todays society with young african american males being incarcerated. Now in days 90 percent out of 1000 african american males would be incarcerated throughout their lifetimes. Alot of poor black males tend to find money in the streets and find theirselves facing hard, cold time. Nearly 10 percent of black males aged 23-28 are in prison. In alot of the cases doing long hard time can really seperate and destroy a family. Young kids lose their mothers and fathers to the prison system. Many families are left with single parent homes and their kids continue the downward cycle of incarceration.

It has grown into a bigger problem because 1 in 10 males incarcerated contract the hiv virus in jail. Jail is no place for a man to get his life together but instead give him time to lose faith and become an enraged man. There isnt enough efficient health services to provid for the inmates. Inmates alot of times kill time by causing mayhem to there wing. This is a growing problem and a an occuring issue in an everyday life of an african american male. The time african americans are getting continues to destroy families and communities.
