As of recent data, the ratio of incarcerated Black men to white men in the U.S. is significantly disproportionate. Black men are incarcerated at a rate approximately five to six times higher than white men. This disparity reflects broader systemic issues, including socioeconomic factors, racial bias in the criminal justice system, and differences in arrest and sentencing practices. Exact ratiOS can vary by source and year, but the trend of over-representation of Black men remains consistent.
