Abstract
Mass incarceration began during the 1970s during the war on drugs where it could be seen as a vast sweep of disenfranchised African American communities into the justice system. It could be argued that these individuals from these communities were the targets of mass incarceration as is reflected in the incarceration rate during the period of mass incarceration at its peak. However Mass incarceration has been a growing issue in many disenfranchised African American communities that have affected different aspects of these communities, whether its employment or homeownership the effects of mass incarceration have been extremely detrimental to disenfranchise African American communities where throughout this article the effects of mass incarceration will be discussed.
