Have seen this happen. Not only with black people though. I always thing it's funny when they do the "low pants waddle". It does makes them easier to catch. Not to mention they look stupid. I do not however, think that this has anything to do with the number of people in general in jail.

First of all race has nothing to do with this there are white boys who walk around with there pants hanging down and we have white boys locked up as well. We have mexican, latino, asian all walk around w/there pants hanging down and now the Bosnians are doing it too so, I guess what I am getting at all types of male of all type are locked up because there running from the law. Its not all black and if anything all need to keep there pants up period because no one wants to see you dirty boxers or you a**.

But the real reason why they buy them so big . By the time they are 25 , the pants will be tight on them . Now , I have seen white kids wearing them also . Most of them acted like they did not have any common sense either .

Convicts in jail started this fashion with their issued clothes, and they became role models for teens and young men on the outside. It is called shagging, an obvious form of rebellion and delinquency. And it helps cultivate their cat-and-mouse relationship with law enforcement, especially when you consider its origins.

I always come up to young white or black guys with huge pants and tell them, "Congratulations!" When they ask me why I said that, I reply, "It's obvious that you lost so much weight so fast that you have not had time to go out and buy clothes that fit".
After a long stare, they usually tell me expletives. I always get a good laugh out of it.

Hip-hop artists have teamed up with fashion designers and the DARE program to clean up our streets. It's also a good way to ID athletes: look at him break those tackles, John!

No the reason so many are in jail is that they have committed a crime. It is funny though that their fashion sense helps to get them caught.
