Since 2008, according to the Judicial Council of California, thousands of court staffers have lost jobs while 52 courthouses and more than 200 courtrooms have been shuttered. In some counties, residents must now make a long drive to a different city to simply pay a fine; in all, the council estimates that 2.1 million Californians have lost access to a courtroom in their community.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It felt like we were just second-class citizens -- like it didn't matter ... just settle it for whatever they are giving you.' \u003ccite>Melissa Reyes \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The improving economy is slowly allowing the state to pump more taxpayer dollars back into the trial court system, but court officials and lawyers say the deep cuts can still be felt -- particularly in civil courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also more expensive now to access court services: Fines and fees for court services were temporarily increased in 2012, and Gov. Jerry Brown wants to make those increases permanent in the state fiscal year that begins on July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Second-Class Citizens'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Reyes family, the reductions had a tangible impact -- they couldn't wait years for what they felt they were owed. The same month that they filed a civil lawsuit, Reyes, her husband and their two kids were forced out of their two-bedroom apartment by city inspectors, who said it wasn't habitable. For several months, the family had to stay in homeless shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they had mounting expenses. The family lost most of its possessions in flooding and left others behind when they were suddenly forced out of the unit; their one car needed repairs; and when they finally found an apartment to move into, the rent was triple what they had been paying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reyes, a See's Candies manager and her husband, Miguel Reyes, a driver for disabled adults, said it was a stretch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The judge was telling us, you know, it could take up to five years, like it could be a year, it could be two years, it could just get extended, extended, extended, there are only so many judges ... and he was trying to convince me to settle,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It felt\u003ci> \u003c/i>like we were just second-class citizens -- like it didn't matter ... just settle it for whatever they are giving you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the Reyes family did just that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers say these types of situations -- where plaintiffs feel compelled to cut a deal even if they have a strong case -- are playing out all over California. Compounding matters, many court-sponsored mediation services have been cut back, forcing both sides to pay two or three times as much to simply get to a settlement agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Civil Court Ripple Effect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delays extend to other areas of the law as well. Family court budgets have been slashed, making it difficult for parents to quickly secure child support payment orders or sort out custody issues, said Martin Hoshino, administrative director of the Judicial Council. He said he's also heard stories of restraining orders being delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the most pronounced effects are in the area of family (law) -- if you talk to any of the courts, they will tell you this is a real problem, because some of these are issues of reunification of families, or they are adoptions, or these are decisions that are being delayed that are aimed at helping some of the more vulnerable parts of our populations,\" Hoshino said. \"And that has cause for great concern among a lot of the judicial officials or court administrators that I speak to in terms of what are the real impacts of saying that a courtroom or courthouse is closed and really unavailable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For others, the closures have created physical barriers to access, Hoshino said: There are long lines, shorter hours and longer distances between courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not everybody has the means to take that kind of time off -- they may not even have the transportation means,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the constant pushing back of trial dates makes it difficult for small law firms, said Reyes' lawyer, Joe Tobener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he will no longer take cases in San Mateo County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a small firm like ours,\" he said, \"a predictable stream of income is everything -- we can’t hire. And no one is gonna cry for the trial attorneys but, at the same time, we hire a lot of people and we use a lot of resources: Process servers, paralegals, deposition companies. It has a broader economic impact if lawyers aren't able to get access to the courtroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impacts are even more devastating for clients, Tobener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really limits access to justice because plaintiffs need to be able to bring their case to trial -- the trial date is everything,\" he said. \"If a defense attorney can delay and delay and delay, they certainly will. And it will drive up the cost of the litigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Discouraging' Delays\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges are frustrated as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolyn Kuhl, Los Angeles Superior Court's presiding judge, said L.A. made 10 percent across-the-board cuts to court services in 2012, but it wasn't enough. So the next year, they made further cuts. In all, 79 courtrooms were shuttered, limiting where people can contest traffic tickets or adjudicate small claims cases. The court has also cut mediation services and eliminated court reporters in civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'There has never been this kind of pressure on the courts in my time of practice, which stretches back into the 1970s.' \u003ccite>Judge Carolyn Kuhl \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>She said L.A. has tried to mitigate the impact on the most vulnerable -- children -- by keeping as many resources as possible in family and dependency courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So civil cases are essentially what's left,\" she said. \"There has never been this kind of pressure on the courts in my time of practice, which stretches back into the 1970s.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kuhl said the setbacks are especially disheartening because she and others have worked for decades to shorten the amount of time it takes to resolve civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And to see those gains essentially be lost -- as we now have delays such that the number of cases pending over two years has tripled -- is very discouraging,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor proposed adding around $180 million to the courts' budget next fiscal year, an investment that Hoshino said the council is eager to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Californians shouldn't expect a quick fix after years of cuts, he warned: Fines and fee revenues have decreased in recent years, trial courts will still have smaller budgets than they did before the recession, and a new formula -- aimed at lining up court funding more accurately with the actual services provided by each county -- will mean less money next year for 17 counties, including San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, San Diego and Marin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the long term, Hoshino said, \"the net effect will be the improvement of services and the uniformity of services for all Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, \"you will still hear that some courts still have shortened hours, while some are lengthening their hours. A courtroom still may get closed in one county while you are hearing courtrooms opening in another county -- you will see some of that unevenness,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And according to lawyers up and down California, that means justice will still be hard to come by for some citizens.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In some counties, residents must now make a long drive to a different city to simply pay a fine; in all, the council estimates that 2.1 million Californians have lost access to a courtroom in their community.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It felt like we were just second-class citizens -- like it didn't matter ... just settle it for whatever they are giving you.' \u003ccite>Melissa Reyes \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The improving economy is slowly allowing the state to pump more taxpayer dollars back into the trial court system, but court officials and lawyers say the deep cuts can still be felt -- particularly in civil courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's also more expensive now to access court services: Fines and fees for court services were temporarily increased in 2012, and Gov. Jerry Brown wants to make those increases permanent in the state fiscal year that begins on July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Second-Class Citizens'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Reyes family, the reductions had a tangible impact -- they couldn't wait years for what they felt they were owed. The same month that they filed a civil lawsuit, Reyes, her husband and their two kids were forced out of their two-bedroom apartment by city inspectors, who said it wasn't habitable. For several months, the family had to stay in homeless shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they had mounting expenses. The family lost most of its possessions in flooding and left others behind when they were suddenly forced out of the unit; their one car needed repairs; and when they finally found an apartment to move into, the rent was triple what they had been paying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reyes, a See's Candies manager and her husband, Miguel Reyes, a driver for disabled adults, said it was a stretch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The judge was telling us, you know, it could take up to five years, like it could be a year, it could be two years, it could just get extended, extended, extended, there are only so many judges ... and he was trying to convince me to settle,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It felt\u003ci> \u003c/i>like we were just second-class citizens -- like it didn't matter ... just settle it for whatever they are giving you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the Reyes family did just that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawyers say these types of situations -- where plaintiffs feel compelled to cut a deal even if they have a strong case -- are playing out all over California. Compounding matters, many court-sponsored mediation services have been cut back, forcing both sides to pay two or three times as much to simply get to a settlement agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Civil Court Ripple Effect\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The delays extend to other areas of the law as well. Family court budgets have been slashed, making it difficult for parents to quickly secure child support payment orders or sort out custody issues, said Martin Hoshino, administrative director of the Judicial Council. He said he's also heard stories of restraining orders being delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of the most pronounced effects are in the area of family (law) -- if you talk to any of the courts, they will tell you this is a real problem, because some of these are issues of reunification of families, or they are adoptions, or these are decisions that are being delayed that are aimed at helping some of the more vulnerable parts of our populations,\" Hoshino said. \"And that has cause for great concern among a lot of the judicial officials or court administrators that I speak to in terms of what are the real impacts of saying that a courtroom or courthouse is closed and really unavailable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For others, the closures have created physical barriers to access, Hoshino said: There are long lines, shorter hours and longer distances between courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not everybody has the means to take that kind of time off -- they may not even have the transportation means,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the constant pushing back of trial dates makes it difficult for small law firms, said Reyes' lawyer, Joe Tobener.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he will no longer take cases in San Mateo County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For a small firm like ours,\" he said, \"a predictable stream of income is everything -- we can’t hire. And no one is gonna cry for the trial attorneys but, at the same time, we hire a lot of people and we use a lot of resources: Process servers, paralegals, deposition companies. It has a broader economic impact if lawyers aren't able to get access to the courtroom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impacts are even more devastating for clients, Tobener said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really limits access to justice because plaintiffs need to be able to bring their case to trial -- the trial date is everything,\" he said. \"If a defense attorney can delay and delay and delay, they certainly will. And it will drive up the cost of the litigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Discouraging' Delays\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judges are frustrated as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolyn Kuhl, Los Angeles Superior Court's presiding judge, said L.A. made 10 percent across-the-board cuts to court services in 2012, but it wasn't enough. So the next year, they made further cuts. In all, 79 courtrooms were shuttered, limiting where people can contest traffic tickets or adjudicate small claims cases. The court has also cut mediation services and eliminated court reporters in civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'There has never been this kind of pressure on the courts in my time of practice, which stretches back into the 1970s.' \u003ccite>Judge Carolyn Kuhl \u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>She said L.A. has tried to mitigate the impact on the most vulnerable -- children -- by keeping as many resources as possible in family and dependency courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So civil cases are essentially what's left,\" she said. \"There has never been this kind of pressure on the courts in my time of practice, which stretches back into the 1970s.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kuhl said the setbacks are especially disheartening because she and others have worked for decades to shorten the amount of time it takes to resolve civil cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And to see those gains essentially be lost -- as we now have delays such that the number of cases pending over two years has tripled -- is very discouraging,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor proposed adding around $180 million to the courts' budget next fiscal year, an investment that Hoshino said the council is eager to see.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Californians shouldn't expect a quick fix after years of cuts, he warned: Fines and fee revenues have decreased in recent years, trial courts will still have smaller budgets than they did before the recession, and a new formula -- aimed at lining up court funding more accurately with the actual services provided by each county -- will mean less money next year for 17 counties, including San Francisco, Alameda, San Mateo, San Diego and Marin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the long term, Hoshino said, \"the net effect will be the improvement of services and the uniformity of services for all Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for now, \"you will still hear that some courts still have shortened hours, while some are lengthening their hours. A courtroom still may get closed in one county while you are hearing courtrooms opening in another county -- you will see some of that unevenness,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But since 2011, law enforcement officials have busted three significant trafficking rings across the county involving gang members pimping out girls as young as 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statistics are also nonexistent on how many bottoms there are in the county. But Barrett said they’re beginning to see more women involved in the logistical end of pimping in larger gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to cut the head off the snake, so we’re seeing it more,” Barrett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill said she became a \"bottom\" in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said her pimp preyed on girls who needed money for food, clothes or drugs. She regrets her role in turning the girls into sex trafficking victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurt me in a lot of ways because some of these girls were not even old enough to understand what it was to be a prostitute,” she said. “I look back in my mind to when I was 11 or 12 years old and my mom was doing the same thing to me, and I wished that I could turn back the hands of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKYC0PYRSb8&w=640&h=360]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill said her mother first sexually trafficked her when she was 11, in exchange for drugs. Jill eventually made it to the bottom position after years of working with different pimps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FBI Agent Robert Howe called that track a path of endurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A bottom is typically a young lady who has survived through the victimization of prostitution as a minor for a number of years and graduated into a position of responsibility for a male who is referred to as a pimp but in reality is a violent pedophile,” Howe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pimps use bottoms to insulate themselves from police scrutiny. As a result, Howe said, many of the women take on management of the girls, overseeing financial transactions and recruitment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett said many bottoms are particularly effective at luring in new girls by befriending them at continuation schools, bus and trolley stops, and shopping malls. They can also be brutal enforcers of pimps’ rules, making it tough for the criminal justice system to dole out punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes, the female pimps and traffickers were themselves victims,” said Summer Stephan, a San Diego County deputy district attorney. “That’s a factor that makes it very complex, because at one point is the person still a victim or a perpetrator?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10450110\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10450110\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"FBI Agent Robert Howe.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-320x180.jpg 320w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">FBI Agent Robert Howe. \u003ccite>(Nicholas McVicker/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Getting a bottom to turn on her pimp is another challenge prosecutors face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>”They’re in a family,” Barrett said. “They have someone who cares for them. They have someone who provides for them. They have someone who beats them less than the stepfather they left at home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Barrett said most bottoms have limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bringing in a 16-year-old is tolerable,” Barrett said. “Bringing in a 12-year-old is not. Beating is OK, but breaking bones is not. Denying food is fine, but not to the baby. And that’s when they seek help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill said it took a long time for her to reach that point because she was often high on methamphetamine and crack cocaine. It didn’t happen after the dozens of arrests. It didn’t happen after her son was taken away from her. Nor did it happen after she said two pimps kidnapped and beat her for two days straight, causing her to miscarry twins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Deep down inside I was dying,” Jill said. “I wanted out and I didn’t know how. I felt like I was just a walking piece of meat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill reached her threshold 18 months ago when she was pregnant with her daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Six weeks before she was born, I quit everything,” Jill said. “I quit drugs. ... I quit spending my days in hotels. I quit having contact with drug dealers, and I moved into a homeless shelter and got myself together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Jill holds down three jobs, including one as a mentor to troubled teens.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But since 2011, law enforcement officials have busted three significant trafficking rings across the county involving gang members pimping out girls as young as 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statistics are also nonexistent on how many bottoms there are in the county. But Barrett said they’re beginning to see more women involved in the logistical end of pimping in larger gangs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to cut the head off the snake, so we’re seeing it more,” Barrett said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill said she became a \"bottom\" in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said her pimp preyed on girls who needed money for food, clothes or drugs. She regrets her role in turning the girls into sex trafficking victims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It hurt me in a lot of ways because some of these girls were not even old enough to understand what it was to be a prostitute,” she said. “I look back in my mind to when I was 11 or 12 years old and my mom was doing the same thing to me, and I wished that I could turn back the hands of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/OKYC0PYRSb8'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/OKYC0PYRSb8'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jill said her mother first sexually trafficked her when she was 11, in exchange for drugs.

As a result, Howe said, many of the women take on management of the girls, overseeing financial transactions and recruitment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barrett said many bottoms are particularly effective at luring in new girls by befriending them at continuation schools, bus and trolley stops, and shopping malls. They can also be brutal enforcers of pimps’ rules, making it tough for the criminal justice system to dole out punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes, the female pimps and traffickers were themselves victims,” said Summer Stephan, a San Diego County deputy district attorney. “That’s a factor that makes it very complex, because at one point is the person still a victim or a perpetrator?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10450110\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10450110\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"FBI Agent Robert Howe.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe-320x180.jpg 320w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/03/AgentRobertHowe.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">FBI Agent Robert Howe. \u003ccite>(Nicholas McVicker/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Getting a bottom to turn on her pimp is another challenge prosecutors face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>”They’re in a family,” Barrett said. “They have someone who cares for them.

"content": "\u003cp>Thousands of Mexicans deported from Southern California could be eligible to return under an agreement between federal authorities and the ACLU. The civil rights group in 2013 \u003ca title=\"Lopez-Venegas lawsuit\" href=\"https://www.aclu.org/immigrants-rights/lopez-venegas-v-johnson-complaint\">sued\u003c/a> the government on behalf of nine plaintiffs who claim U.S. border agents pressured them into signing voluntary departure papers while in detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those plaintiffs is Gerardo Hernandez-Contreras. He came to the U.S. illegally about 15 years ago. He settled down in San Diego, found work and eventually married a U.S. citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ACLU attorney Gabriela Rivera says Hernandez-Contreras hadn’t yet adjusted his legal status when he got pulled over by police for a traffic violation. When his legal status was exposed, Rivera says he was hustled into a U.S. Border Patrol station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/194398439\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They presented him with a voluntary return form and told him that he could fix his papers from Mexico,” says Rivera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What authorities didn’t tell Hernandez-Contreras is that by taking a voluntary departure, he would face a 10-year wait to re-enter the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the settlement struck last week, immigration authorities must establish clear guidelines for the processing of potential voluntary return cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, thousands of people who took voluntary departures from Southern California to Mexico within a five-year period ending last August might be able to come back to the U.S. to argue their cases before an immigration judge. But that doesn’t guarantee they can stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did not win legal status for anyone who was subjected to these voluntary return practices,” says Rivera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re back in the same position that they were in when they should have been given a meaningful opportunity to decide whether to see a judge.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To qualify, immigrants must show that they have some kind of legal footing on which to stand. In the case of Hernandez-Contreras, it’s the fact that he was wed to an American citizen at the time of his deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Vaughn says it is possible that some immigrants were misled by border agents. But that doesn’t mean the deportees who agreed to deportation should be allowed to come back, she says. Vaughn is a policy analyst with the \u003ca title=\"CIS House Committe testimony\" href=\"http://cis.org/Testimony/Vaughan-DHS-Immigration-Enforcement-Oversight\">Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/a>, based in Washington, D.C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would have been possible to retrain agents and officers or investigate individual cases if it looks like they might have been coerced,” says Vaughn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This so-called cure is going to be more painful for the system than the problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vaughn worries that a spike in new cases will further burden already overwhelmed immigration courts in Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some 200,000 immigrants accepted voluntary departures between June 2009 and August 2014, the period covered by the lawsuit. It’s unclear how many of those people would qualify to seek redress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ACLU says it’s already fielded dozens of calls from deportees in Mexico and their relatives seeking advice on how to apply for a return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He came to the U.S. illegally about 15 years ago. He settled down in San Diego, found work and eventually married a U.S. citizen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But ACLU attorney Gabriela Rivera says Hernandez-Contreras hadn’t yet adjusted his legal status when he got pulled over by police for a traffic violation. When his legal status was exposed, Rivera says he was hustled into a U.S. Border Patrol station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/194398439&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/194398439'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They presented him with a voluntary return form and told him that he could fix his papers from Mexico,” says Rivera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the case of Hernandez-Contreras, it’s the fact that he was wed to an American citizen at the time of his deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Vaughn says it is possible that some immigrants were misled by border agents. But that doesn’t mean the deportees who agreed to deportation should be allowed to come back, she says.

It’s unclear how many of those people would qualify to seek redress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the ACLU says it’s already fielded dozens of calls from deportees in Mexico and their relatives seeking advice on how to apply for a return to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

What you can do to stand up for someone you care about, and if you see something that you think is maybe not appropriate or good for your teammate, here are some resources, here are some strategies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fals said the league and the players union have also set up a phone hotline, in English and Spanish, for partners and families of players as well as the athletes themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland's players who speak Spanish as their first language opted to listen to the workshops in English, Otero said, because they could understand the subject matter, which he said, \"was actually nice having the whole team here as opposed to having half and half.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Slavin, chief of business affairs of the Major League Baseball Players Association, also attended the session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants and other Cactus League teams in Arizona also had classes scheduled Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Players and coaches said they appreciate baseball's efforts to educate, given the issues surrounding other major professional sports leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're seeing it a lot in other sports.

What you can do to stand up for someone you care about, and if you see something that you think is maybe not appropriate or good for your teammate, here are some resources, here are some strategies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fals said the league and the players union have also set up a phone hotline, in English and Spanish, for partners and families of players as well as the athletes themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland's players who speak Spanish as their first language opted to listen to the workshops in English, Otero said, because they could understand the subject matter, which he said, \"was actually nice having the whole team here as opposed to having half and half.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Slavin, chief of business affairs of the Major League Baseball Players Association, also attended the session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants and other Cactus League teams in Arizona also had classes scheduled Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Players and coaches said they appreciate baseball's efforts to educate, given the issues surrounding other major professional sports leagues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're seeing it a lot in other sports. It's been in the news a lot,\" San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford said. \"I feel like it hasn't been as prevalent in Major League Baseball, so it's nice we're doing something to help prevent it and keep us out of it a little bit more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before the sessions began, union head Tony Clark said he heard encouraging feedback from players who were eager to hear more about the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's an opportunity for us to move forward in a very positive direction on a very challenging issue,\" Clark said Wednesday. \"The steps that we have taken have been hugely beneficial. Awareness, prevention, education, understanding — those are all things that all of us are committed to, to make sure that we have an understanding of the challenges that exist and we work to address them on the front end as best we can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So, I think the education sessions that are going to happen during the course of this first week at ballparks here and Florida, and those that are involved and committed to that process and education, believe it's positive. We believe it's positive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Importance of Being Proactive\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giants manager Bruce Bochy and his coaching staff, and also members of the team's front office, were prepared for a long day at Scottsdale Stadium. Their session was scheduled for late afternoon, following the players' classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We do appreciate it. The fact that we are being proactive, I'm sure like the other sports, that's a good thing,\" Bochy said. \"It's something that should happen. It's time to help educate everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fals of Futures Without Violence said her organization has been working with the Giants for many years. \"They've been in front of this issue for a long time, and we've had the opportunity to try different approaches in terms of education, community engagement, fan awareness.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like the Giants coaches, A's manager Bob Melvin had a session scheduled for later in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melvin appreciates the efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Certainly we support that,\" Melvin said. \"With all that's going on in sports and really in everyday life these days, it's something that needs to be addressed, and if we can school our guys and make them very aware of it, you try to combat the problem.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Former San Francisco police Sgt. Ian Furminger was sentenced Monday to three years and five months in prison for his role in a series of thefts from drug suspects committed by plainclothes officers in the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This not only casts a shadow on the police department -- this casts a shadow on all police,\" said federal prosecutor John Hemann. \"It does extraordinary damage to both the mission and perception of law enforcement.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said the sentencing marked \"a day of shame.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s very disturbing to the court to have to sentence an individual who is charged with enforcing the laws,\" Breyer said. \"When a law enforcement officer violates his oath, the victims are not only the people directly affected by it, but all of us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A jury convicted Furminger in December of two counts of wire fraud, conspiracy against civil rights, and conspiracy to commit theft.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'My job is to protect my people. I was papa bear, and I rocked. I made it happen.'\u003ccite>Ian Furminger\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In addition to prison time, Breyer imposed a $25,000 fine, three years supervised release, and 120 hours community service on the first former SFPD officer to be sentenced in two separate federal corruption cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger's co-defendant, Edmond Robles, will likely be sentenced in late March or early April. Ray Vargas pleaded guilty in the case and testified against Furminger and Robles. His sentencing has not been scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate case concerning another plainclothes unit, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/22/jury-weighs-intent-in-federal-trial-of-sfpd-officers-charged-with-conspiracy\" target=\"_blank\">a jury convicted\u003c/a> former Officer Arshad Razzak in January of illegally searching the rooms of drug suspects and falsifying a police report to make the search appear legal. Co-defendant Richard Yick was acquitted in that case. Criminal proceedings against Raul Elias, also indicted in the case against Razzak and Yick, have been stayed until July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no place in the San Francisco Police Department for dishonest police officers,” SFPD Deputy Chief Sharon Ferrigno told the court before Furminger was sentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferrigno said commanding officers now choose who works in the plainclothes unit, a change since the indictment last year. The department has instituted monthly ethics and Fourth Amendment (search and seizure) trainings for plainclothes officers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they don’t satisfy the training requirement, they’re removed from the team,\" Ferrigno said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervising officers, typically sergeants, must now approve the serving of search warrants, she said, and the department has implemented a \"stricter selection process\" for officers working plainclothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger must voluntarily surrender to corrections officers by April 3. His attorney, Brian Getz, said he will appeal the conviction and seek bail pending appeal. In other words, the case is far from over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We accept, as we must, the decision of the court in meting out a very heavy prison sentence today,\" Getz said, noting that Furminger was convicted on just four of nine counts he was charged with. \"The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will be the next judge of those verdicts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getz previously argued that scant, if any, direct evidence linked Furminger to thefts committed by his subordinates, although Vargas and others testified he was involved in a conspiracy to steal property from suspects -- including an Apple gift card and, in one incident, more than $30,000 in cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger spoke briefly with reporters after he was sentenced. He said he had urged the SFPD to implement stricter policies for plainclothes officers, but the department ignored him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn’t keep track of everybody all the time,\" he said, adding that he supervised a team of 18 officers. \"I don’t know what cops do in the middle of the night. I can’t keep track of that. I know what it’s like to be hungry. I would never take a penny from anybody, ever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger categorically denied that he received any profit from thefts committed by Robles and Vargas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He’s a crooked cop,\" Furminger said of Vargas. \"He’s a dirty, dirty man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department forced the plainclothes unit to prioritize narcotics over violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your child get kidnapped, your wife gets raped, something bad happens, guess who you want coming?\" he said. \"Me, me and my guys. We solved it every single time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer noted Furminger's decades of service as a police officer. He had received almost every commendation offered by the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have an extraordinary record of public service,\" Breyer said. \"You risked your life to save lives of other people, disadvantaged people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Breyer said, that didn't soften the severity of Furminger's crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s clear to me that you did not tell your subordinates, 'You cannot do this. Stop it or I’ll report it,' \" Breyer said. \"Your conduct is actually more reprehensible than your colleagues.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger questioned why the department didn't fire Vargas sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s not my job,\" he said. \"My job is to protect my people.

Ray Vargas pleaded guilty in the case and testified against Furminger and Robles. His sentencing has not been scheduled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a separate case concerning another plainclothes unit, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/01/22/jury-weighs-intent-in-federal-trial-of-sfpd-officers-charged-with-conspiracy\" target=\"_blank\">a jury convicted\u003c/a> former Officer Arshad Razzak in January of illegally searching the rooms of drug suspects and falsifying a police report to make the search appear legal. Co-defendant Richard Yick was acquitted in that case. Criminal proceedings against Raul Elias, also indicted in the case against Razzak and Yick, have been stayed until July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no place in the San Francisco Police Department for dishonest police officers,” SFPD Deputy Chief Sharon Ferrigno told the court before Furminger was sentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferrigno said commanding officers now choose who works in the plainclothes unit, a change since the indictment last year. The department has instituted monthly ethics and Fourth Amendment (search and seizure) trainings for plainclothes officers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they don’t satisfy the training requirement, they’re removed from the team,\" Ferrigno said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervising officers, typically sergeants, must now approve the serving of search warrants, she said, and the department has implemented a \"stricter selection process\" for officers working plainclothes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger must voluntarily surrender to corrections officers by April 3. His attorney, Brian Getz, said he will appeal the conviction and seek bail pending appeal. In other words, the case is far from over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We accept, as we must, the decision of the court in meting out a very heavy prison sentence today,\" Getz said, noting that Furminger was convicted on just four of nine counts he was charged with. \"The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will be the next judge of those verdicts.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getz previously argued that scant, if any, direct evidence linked Furminger to thefts committed by his subordinates, although Vargas and others testified he was involved in a conspiracy to steal property from suspects -- including an Apple gift card and, in one incident, more than $30,000 in cash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger spoke briefly with reporters after he was sentenced. He said he had urged the SFPD to implement stricter policies for plainclothes officers, but the department ignored him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn’t keep track of everybody all the time,\" he said, adding that he supervised a team of 18 officers. \"I don’t know what cops do in the middle of the night. I can’t keep track of that. I know what it’s like to be hungry. I would never take a penny from anybody, ever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger categorically denied that he received any profit from thefts committed by Robles and Vargas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He’s a crooked cop,\" Furminger said of Vargas. \"He’s a dirty, dirty man.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the department forced the plainclothes unit to prioritize narcotics over violent crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Your child get kidnapped, your wife gets raped, something bad happens, guess who you want coming?\" he said. \"Me, me and my guys. We solved it every single time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer noted Furminger's decades of service as a police officer. He had received almost every commendation offered by the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You have an extraordinary record of public service,\" Breyer said. \"You risked your life to save lives of other people, disadvantaged people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, Breyer said, that didn't soften the severity of Furminger's crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s clear to me that you did not tell your subordinates, 'You cannot do this. Stop it or I’ll report it,' \" Breyer said. \"Your conduct is actually more reprehensible than your colleagues.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furminger questioned why the department didn't fire Vargas sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That’s not my job,\" he said. \"My job is to protect my people. I was papa bear, and I rocked. I made it happen. I made everything happen. We caught everybody.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The mass incarceration of people of color is a big part of the reason that a black child born today is less likely to be raised by both parents than a black child born during slavery.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>What are we talking about in specific numbers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/history/www/through_the_decades/overview/1850.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the 1850 U.S. Census\u003c/a>. The decennial enumeration of those living in the United States recorded a total of 23.2 million people. That included 3,204,313 slaves, of whom 1,747,961 were ages 15 or older. That adult population was split nearly 50-50 by gender (874,514 males, 873,447 females).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, our (reasonably) current incarceration and “correctional control” statistics. It would be beautiful if we could offer exact numbers, but the truth is that given the size of the population and the opacity of some criminal justice statistics, we have to live with some roundish numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The easiest data to come by: the number of people locked up in federal and state prisons and local jails. According to a U.S. Department of Justice report, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/p13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prisoners in 2013\u003c/a>,” there were about 526,000 black men and 23,100 black women — total 549,100 — serving state and federal sentences that year, the most recent for which data are available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another DoJ publications, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/jim13st.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jail Inmates at Midyear 2013\u003c/a>,” puts the number of black inmates in local jails across the country at 261,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one last category: The sizable number of people nationwide who are under what’s euphemistically called “community supervision” — probation and parole. And yes, there’s a Justice Department paper on that, too. The report, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ppus13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Probation and Parole in the United States, 2013\u003c/a>,” says that of about 3.9 million people nationwide on probation, roughly 1.2 million are black. Of 850,000 people on parole across the U.S., about 320,000 are black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So adding up those numbers (which do \u003cstrong>not\u003c/strong> include thousands of teenagers detained for juvenile offenses):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Blacks in state and federal prisons:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>549,100\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blacks in local jails:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>261,500\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blacks on probation and parole:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>1,520,000\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Total:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>2,330,600\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not news that African-Americans, and especially African-American men, are imprisoned much more often than any other racial or ethnic population. But just as a reminder: Black men are jailed at a rate nearly six times higher than white men. The lifetime likelihood that a black man will be incarcerated is one in three, compared with one in 17 for whites. Federal statistics show that in 2010, 9.9 percent of black males ages 30 to 34 were in state or federal prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, context is important here. Not that I speak for Michelle Alexander, John Legend or Common, but no one’s drawing a one-to-one comparison between 1850 and 2015. The enslaved population of 1850 represented 90 percent of all blacks living in the United States. The total black adults incarcerated or under supervision is about 6 percent of the African-American population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the numbers say something else, too: The \u003ca href=\"http://sentencingproject.org/doc/publications/inc_Trends_in_Corrections_Fact_sheet.pdf\" target=\"_black\" rel=\"noopener\">era of mass imprisonment\u003c/a> has exacted a fantastically disproportionate cost from one American community still recovering from epochs of inhuman maltreatment and discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, all that history — Selma, Jim Crow and the rest, going back to the days when census takers didn’t bother to record individual slaves’ names? Yes, it’s still with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just for historical interest: Here’s the section of the 1850 census that details the U.S. slave population:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/256708826/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_23767\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It would be beautiful if we could offer exact numbers, but the truth is that given the size of the population and the opacity of some criminal justice statistics, we have to live with some roundish numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The easiest data to come by: the number of people locked up in federal and state prisons and local jails. According to a U.S. Department of Justice report, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/p13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prisoners in 2013\u003c/a>,” there were about 526,000 black men and 23,100 black women — total 549,100 — serving state and federal sentences that year, the most recent for which data are available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another DoJ publications, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/jim13st.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jail Inmates at Midyear 2013\u003c/a>,” puts the number of black inmates in local jails across the country at 261,500.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And one last category: The sizable number of people nationwide who are under what’s euphemistically called “community supervision” — probation and parole. And yes, there’s a Justice Department paper on that, too. The report, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ppus13.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Probation and Parole in the United States, 2013\u003c/a>,” says that of about 3.9 million people nationwide on probation, roughly 1.2 million are black. Of 850,000 people on parole across the U.S., about 320,000 are black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So adding up those numbers (which do \u003cstrong>not\u003c/strong> include thousands of teenagers detained for juvenile offenses):\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Blacks in state and federal prisons:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>549,100\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blacks in local jails:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>261,500\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blacks on probation and parole:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>1,520,000\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Total:\u003c/em> \u003cstrong>2,330,600\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not news that African-Americans, and especially African-American men, are imprisoned much more often than any other racial or ethnic population. But just as a reminder: Black men are jailed at a rate nearly six times higher than white men. The lifetime likelihood that a black man will be incarcerated is one in three, compared with one in 17 for whites. Federal statistics show that in 2010, 9.9 percent of black males ages 30 to 34 were in state or federal prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yeah, context is important here. Not that I speak for Michelle Alexander, John Legend or Common, but no one’s drawing a one-to-one comparison between 1850 and 2015. The enslaved population of 1850 represented 90 percent of all blacks living in the United States. The total black adults incarcerated or under supervision is about 6 percent of the African-American population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the numbers say something else, too: The \u003ca href=\"http://sentencingproject.org/doc/publications/inc_Trends_in_Corrections_Fact_sheet.pdf\" target=\"_black\" rel=\"noopener\">era of mass imprisonment\u003c/a> has exacted a fantastically disproportionate cost from one American community still recovering from epochs of inhuman maltreatment and discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, all that history — Selma, Jim Crow and the rest, going back to the days when census takers didn’t bother to record individual slaves’ names? Yes, it’s still with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just for historical interest: Here’s the section of the 1850 census that details the U.S. slave population:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scribd_iframe_embed\" src=\"https://www.scribd.com/embeds/256708826/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" data-auto-height=\"false\" data-aspect-ratio=\"undefined\" scrolling=\"no\" id=\"doc_23767\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
