Minority Incarceration Themes

Each of the articles identified common themes relevant to the topic of minority incarceration that contributed to the findings discussed in this paper. Though each article addressed the topic of minority incarceration and shared common themes, each article presented them through a slightly different lens. The three most common themes will be discussed in a similar order to the ways in which they are presented in the articles, beginning with the historical outlines and the social acceptance of the metanarratives that target minorities, and will end on the prevalence of incarceration among
minorities.
