Did blacks and whites live in jail cells together during segregation?

During segregation in the United States, blacks and whites were typically kept separate in jails and prisons, reflecting the broader societal norms of racial segregation. Facilities often had separate cells or areas designated for each race. However, there were instances where individuals of different races might have been housed together, particularly in overcrowded facilities, but this was not the norm and usually occurred under specific circumstances. Overall, the practice of segregation extended to the criminal justice system, maintaining racial divides even in incarceration.
