I was clicking around CNN when I stumbled upon a story. This little tale told a story of how more blacks are in prison then in college dorms, almost a 3 to 1 ratio.  This is compared to the Hispanic community, which is at 2.7 for prison to college.

Some interesting facts from the article:

• Blacks made up 41 percent of the nation's 2 million prison and jail inmates in 2006. Non-Hispanic whites made up 37 percent and Hispanics made up 19 percent.
• Non-Hispanic whites made up about 73 percent of the 2.3 million people living in college housing in 2006. Blacks made up about 12 percent, Asians about 7 percent and Hispanics about 6 percent.
