Fact check: 1994 crime bill did not bring mass incarceration of Black Americans

Claim: 1994 crime bill, strongly promoted by then-Sen. Joe Biden, brought 'mass incarceration to Black Americans.'

"Overall, though, the law is now seen by many as a major driver of mass incarceration. For that reason, policymakers who played a role in pushing it forward, including presidential candidates Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, have been attacked for supporting it." Under the TIS laws, violent offenders admitted to prison in 1996 would spend an average of 88 months in prisons, the DOJ report said.found that the average length of stay for offenders released from prison in 2009 had increased 36% from 1990, with nine states reporting increases of over 50%.2002 study by the Urban Institute's Justice Policy Center.

Asked if the bill caused or largely contributed to it, Johnson says: “The bottom line answer to that is no. Was it a link in the chain? Yes. Is it the beginning of the chain? No.”

Breeding Black Criminals brought about the Mass Incarcerations!!!

This reads like “America didn’t have slavery because other places had slavery first.”

Your fact check needs a fact check. His crime bill most certainly DID cause mass incarceration of blacks. Everyone knows this. You’re not fooling anyone so quit trying so hard to do so. You only make yourselves look foolish.

More Lies from the people crying “FAKE NEWS”

Your own data stated that the numbers of blacks per 100000 in prison more than doubled.

Democrats are the party if racism

Wrong

defund the loyalist

Oh there you go trying to change history. Everybody knew it was Biden’s crime bill that was the problem. Everyone including usatoday did stories on it. But now because of you tds you are trying change the narrative.

Mr Biden was not very aware of reality that jail is not a healthy human crutch. His 3 strikes and your out is way not good for our country but more rehabilitation mental institution s where they actually are in. Therapeutic environment is.

Women who breed these Black Criminals should B deported!

Wonder if any had anything to do with the Mexican peso devaluation 94 starting 95. This side.

when you coordinate with an ongoing national political campaign, you should really try to make it less obvious.

And you have the facts or going to play with the facts

in which tries to help out Biden ' federal money incentivized the prison construction boom, encouraged states and cities to increase arrests, prosecutions, and incarceration,' if you build it, they will come 'twas just a coincidence, the black prison population 🙄

Trying to cover for Biden, disgusting

Africans account for less than 15 percent of the US population yet they commit 65 percent of all violent crimes.

Another FAKE NEWS article from USA Today

Does fact check mean whitewashing now

lol oh fuck you it didn’t

Yes it did. Do not try to defend that
