Well first of all we can realize that this issue is a national problem and not just the black communities problem.
Black men are over populating America's prisons due to repeat offenders and minor crimes.
We need a program in the criminal justice system that can be an alternative instead of prison and a program that rehabilitates after prison. The program can educate,show these men a better way of life and teach them to provide for themselves and their families legally. This program can be funded by the government. I have been very upset over the years in regards to a bowling establishment where my two boys bowl on a youth league during the winter. My major complaint is that the parents smoke right behind the kids with no regard for their personal health.
