The undermining social and political dilemmas that has been placed by a criminal justice system

serves as a reminder as much as civil rights progressive reform movements and acts have
acquitted many harsh discriminatory laws, not all have vanished but remained and transformed
outside of mainstream society. The criminal justice system is responsible for the vast majority of
"missing black men"(Alexander 179). This statement emphasis an important and unprecedented
realizations of social injustice and that is the alienation and segregation of African Americans.
The progression of an unjust criminal justice system single handily caused an increase of
imprisoned African American and as a result that "black males are six times more likely than
white males to be in state or federal prison"(Voegeli). This in turn creates racial segregation not
only though the removal of African Americans from mainstream society and creates an "under
caste system"(Alexander...). Many African Americans after being realized from improvement
have not only been segregated away from society by being confined in cells outside of urban
areas but are released as felons into a daunting task of reestablishing into society in which "are
subject to a wide array of limitations on work... as explicit forms of additional punishment"().
