SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California's prison system will no longer divide inmates by race, a practice in effect for more than 20 years and intended to limit gang violence, a spokeswoman for the system said on Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation had routinely segregated inmates by race on their arrival at prison, a practice challenged by a prisoner in a federal discrimination lawsuit. The department has settled the challenge and has agreed to no longer use race as the sole factor in deciding how to house inmates, said department spokeswoman Terry Thornton. "Prisons have always been desegregated, but had we made housing decisions based on a person's race? Yes," Thornton said. "It's no secret that many instances of gang violence in prison are racially motivated." California's prison population of nearly 167,000 is 28 percent white, 29 percent black and 37 percent Hispanic. Its gangs include the Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia, which recruit inmates based on race, Thornton said. The prison system's change of practice brings it in line with a February U.S. Supreme Court decision banning racial segregation in prisons with the exception of extraordinary conditions. news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051220/us_nm/rights_prisons_dc

Black criminal anti-racist champion? ha. I'm sure young white inmates would be for segregation, seeing as almost all serial rapists in prison are blacks and almost all rape victims are white.

Isn't there a White gang in prisons throughout America called lowrider nazis or lowrider skinheads or something like that where they have a working relationship with Mexican gangs when it comes to drug dealings.

We can all see ur anti-black racist crap coming out. There are plenty of white rapists in Jail who rape other people, its not a one-sided thing. Yeah blacks and hispanics have higher crime rates because of poverty, but whites have much higher crime rates than Asians, So maybe some Asian on Dodona should be here right now complaining about you the way you complain about blacks.

I wonder about those who appear racially one thing but are socially another race. I'll bet there are a lot of mulattoids walking around in fear b/c they were put in the wrong cell block.

Asians makeup only 4% of the U.S population so ofcourse they are not gonna makeup a large number of the U.S prison population.

Right. Mentioning black offense is tantamount to "racism". The claim was documented in a book by Jim hogshire, feel free to read it. www.amazon.com/gp/product/1893626229/102-0597986-1503353?v=glance&n=283155Really? Where did you get that information from? your ass?

No, the so called "Aryan brotherhood" partake in rape also, though their motivation is much different than the black serial rapists, and is in large, reactionary. This and it's causes are described in the book I mentioned.

In his twisted mind even a White terrorist like Timothy Mcveigh is better than a law abiding non gang affiliated Black like Bill Cosby.I bet if dukeofpain had the choice of having a White serial killer as a neighbor or a Black lawyer as neighbor he would choose to live right next to the White serial killer.
