I feel comfortable describing how mass incarceration is the new caste system. The book has some great examples of how it has  brought the black community down by its tactics. Some people may find it hard to believe that people who are  incarcerated are there for crimes that should not involve major sentences. The government is trying to trap men and make it hard for them to be productive in society if they are a person who is living in a low-income area. They do illegal searches and a lot of racial profiling goes on, and once they get caught with a drug it is over for them. Their rights are taken away and once they are released it is hard for them to be a model citizen in their communities. It is a problem when a lot of men are in jail or prison for something petty.
