Introduction Since the 1980s, the increase in incarceration rates in the US remains tremendous. In particular, the US counts for approximately 25% of the incarcerated population all over the globe (American Psychological Association, 2014). Among the key reasons for this fact, it is possible to note uneven court orders and policy changes, while the overall crime rate tends to decrease. Both men and women identified as racial minorities present the largest prison populations, which makes the problem socially important. This paper aims to explore racial disparity in the US prisons through the perspective of the systems and social constructionist theories to come up with a deep understanding of the problem and potential solutions. Problem Identification The evidence shows that African-Americans, Hispanics, and other minority groups are more likely to be imprisoned compared to the White population. 1 out of 3 African-American males go to prison, and 1 out of 10 men are currently there (Rehavi & Starr, 2014). One of every six Latinos is also likely to be incarcerated at least once in their life, comparing to one of seventeen Whites. The history of this social problem is marked by the shift from explicit racism to implicit presentations and outcomes. Associated with the unequal position of African-Americans in the historical context, racism was a form of correction in many states, especially those located in the South. With the victory in the Civil War and, later, new policies, their situation began to change steadily. Even though some improvement in incarceration rates is noted, it is still critical to make this problem public to achieve equal treatment of all people regardless of their cultural identity (Rehavi & Starr, 2014). The cause of this social problem lies in systemic law enforcement prerogatives that often prioritize the White population, which can be expressed in the length of sentences, probation decisions, trial penalties, and so on. Two Social Theories The systems theory has a multilevel character and can be applied equally to both the largest and smallest aspects of the social world. This theory is focused on the diverse relationships between people, arguing that they cannot be distinguished from a holistic context. The main idea is that society consists of various subsystems that should be considered as a whole, where each of them impacts others and is affected by them (Michailakis & Schirmer, 2014). The emphasis is placed on relationships or processes at different levels of the social system, including individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. At the same time, one should stress that every system creates boundaries that allow them to preserve their cultural identity. The systems interact and integrate into a dynamic process of change, which leads to stability in case the members cooperate. The social constructionist theory studies the stability of society that is achieved mainly through social institutions that may include religious groups, ethnic communities, and so on. Michailakis and Schirmer (2014) state that the most characteristic feature of modern society is the plurality of social institutions. People are seen as a product of their cultural and personal history, as well as their immediate social context. According to the theory of social constructionism, the relationships between people that form the inner
