Do you think getting a bad education, is the reason why so many black young males are in prison?

Hello to all my black brothers and sisters, along with those that are not so narrow minded in this area of criminality. Having been raised in the 5th ward ghetto streets of Houston, lived in various projects and raised by parents with a 4th grade education, having two grown sons both doing well, one in college and the other a model father.. Neither has went to jail and/or prison to this date and having sought college and/or furthered their education. My point being education, environment and parental rearing can be seen as a chioce, however the ultimate choice is up to the individual making the decision. Every day I speak to children at school sharing with them the freedom to choose and make good choices in their life. I KNOW THAT EVERY ONE WISH AND MIGHT EVEN CONSIDER AN EASIER WAY, HOWEVER WORK DETERMINATION AND PRAYER HAS BEEN MY CHOICE.

What a narrow-minded question....Statistically, there are more white men in prison that black men. Don't be a jerk.... Sometimes discriminative folks like you, decide that because they see a black man he's going to be up to no good and arrest him just because he's a black dude.
I can't believe that people that think like you still exist in this day and age. What makes you think many black men get a bad education? What does being an academic have to do with being a law-abiding human being or not?
Enron executives were well educated, did that make them law abiding? Don't be ridiculous...If you have nothing good to post about, keep your disparaging prejudices to yourself. Stop being a troll.

No they are there because of the poor choices they made when they were free. That's true for all prisoners. You can be a prisoner of your own mind even without being in jail. And this is true no matter what race you are.

It can be. Sometimes it can be a number of things: environment in which the person is reared, genetics--some people genetically inherit the mistakes of others, while some watch and are extremely encourageable, and some people have no desire to do better in life. They have been programmed by listening to other people that they trust to believe that life is "as they found it"---there is nothing else. That's sad to me.

i dont think there is a such thing as a bad education. i think that for some men it is harder for some people to get jobs because of lack knowledge, and education which leads them to go out and do something illegal to get money to survive and take care of their families and they end up in jail. some make mistakes, and once you have a felony"mistake" on your record it is very hard to get a job also. so i wouldnt say a bad education is what leads to black men going to jail i would say bad decisions

The reason anybody is in prison is because they made bad choices, and have no common sense. Not because they are black, white, yellow or blue.

no, i think it has to do with their upbringing, and environment. but, i don't think that's just for black people, i think that's for everyone. white, hispanic, and asian.
