The Vera Institute of Justice has made major improvements with it's educational endeavors for inmates. Nonetheless, the disproportionate rates at which black drug offenders are sent to prison originate in racially disproportionate rates of arrest. Whites, in fact commit more drug crimes than blacks. But the war on drugs has been waged in waged in ways that have had the foreseeable consequences of disproportionate targeting black drug offenders.
So comforting to know that in a sea of hardships, trauma and retraumatization by non caring individuals, there is a kind and comforting face. Yes I will do my time, I will pay my price but as a woman please I beg you don't make the price so high that it shreds the tiny bit of dignity I've tried so hard to hold onto!! God Bless the Vera Institute!!
The Vera institute does a wonderful job educating people about the discriminatory practices throughout our criminal justice system. I love the short videos provided on specific topics and use these regularly within my criminal justice courses.
