Mass IncarcerationCommunity Education

Initiative

OUR MISSION: Founded in 2004, the Clark-Fox Family Foundation supports the growth and prosperity of the St. Louis metropolitan region through research, program development and investments in PK-12, higher education, public health, immigration, social justice and racial equity, community leadership, and entrepreneurship. The Foundation prioritizes programs and investments that empower the end user and leverage each other for broader access and greater impact for our children and community. Visit our website at www.clarkfoxstl.com to learn more.

OUR WORK:The Foundation has a few key areas of current work including Blueprint4SummerSTL, a free database for searching for information about summer opportunities for children in the St. Louis region, ecosystem maps on topics such as child wellbeing, workforce development, immigration and refugee resources, and mapping services for organizations and short-term research projects. In addition, the Clark-Fox Family Foundation has dedicated time and effort since 2015 to developing an Ecosystem Map of the Mass Incarceration System in the United States and sharing it with community leadership in the form of presentations.

The Mass Incarceration Community Education Initiative of The Clark-Fox Family Foundation seeks to inform the public and community leadership about the hidden system of mass incarceration. After extensive research we have mapped the ecosystem of Mass Incarceration in America. Our conclusion is that this system of oppression and its negative impact on children and their families, our region, and the nation is one of the most critical issues of our time. Presentations include an overview of the system, impact on the community, and a discussion around reform efforts. When possible, presentations also include a formerly incarcerated individual who shares their real lived experience in the system and their contributions since returning to the community.

CORE PRESENTATION:Core ecosystem presentations are approximately 30 minutes in length with a short question and answer section.

COMPLETE PRESENTATION: Ideal presentation formats are approximately 60 minutes in length and include a core ecosystem presentation approximately 30 minutes in length, a 20-minute presentation from a formerly incarcerated individual who shares their lived experience, and a short question and answer section.

PRESENTATION TAILORING:The project team tailors its presentation to each group. We include content relevant to the listeners such as detailed information about the impact of incarceration on children and families for presentations to school districts and youth service providers.

PRESENTATIONS TO YOUNG ADULTS:Our presentation can also be tailored specifically to young adults. The presentation format changes slightly and is more interactive and the content is prevention oriented and deepens understanding of the risks of becoming involved in the criminal justice system.

LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS: Mass Incarceration

RACE• 1 in 3 Black men born in 2001 will go to prison

at some point during their lifetime (Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) 2001)

• Although Black people and White people use drugs at similar rates, the incarceration rate of Black people for drug charges is almost 6 times that of White people (NAACP 2017)

• Only 5% of prosecutors are people of color, but over 50% of people who are convicted are people of color (Reflective Democracy Campaign 2015, BJS 2015)

POVERTY• Over 60% of people unable to post bail

bonds fall within the poorest third of society; their inability to pay leads to months or years incarcerated with no conviction, awaiting trial (Prison Policy Initiative 2016)

• Prior to incarceration, the median income of incarcerated people is 41% less than the median income of non-incarcerated people of similar ages (BJS 2004, Census Bureau 2010)

HEALTH• The only regulation on prison food is the 8th

Amendment prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment (Harvard Law School 2005)

• 50% of state and federal prisoners experience or have experienced a mental health disorder (BJS 2012)

• Oftentimes, individuals with mental illness spend more time in jail waiting for a competency exam than they would if they were sentenced for a crime (Treatment Advocacy Center 2017)

• Each year spent behind bars takes 2 years off of a person’s life expectancy (Vanderbilt University 2013)

• In the first two weeks after their release from prison, individuals reentering the community have a mortality rate 13x higher than the general population (Brookings 2016)

MONEY• Between 2007-2017, the Drug Enforcement

Administration (DEA) seized $22 billion through civil asset forfeiture; $3.2 billion came from people never charged with a crime (U.S. Department of Justice 2017)

• Prison wages average $0.37 an hour, and a 1-minute phone call can cost up to $14, which is more than a month’s wages (LexisNexis 2016, Bureau of Prisons 2013, UNICOR 2010)

• Financially stressed counties are incentivized to send more people to prison, since many county jails house prisoners from overcrowded state prisons at rates of up to $169 per person per day (Vera Institute of Justice 2017)

FAMILIES• On any given day, 2.7 million U.S. children,

most of whom are under age 10, have a parent in jail or prison (Annie E. Casey Foundation 2016)

• Since 1978, the number of women in prison has grown by 800% (BJS 2008)

• Nearly 2/3 of women in prison are moms, 77% of whom provided most of the care for the children before incarceration (BJS 2008)

• Every month, two-thirds of prioners do not have any personal visits (Prison Policy Initiative 2015)

JUSTICE• Over 95% of state felony convictions and over

97% of federal felony convictions never went to trial and are the result of plea deals (BJS 2017)

• 83% of state prisoners are rearrested within 9 years after release (BJS 2018)

• Taxpayers spend approximately $14 billion annually to jail people who have not yet been convicted of a crime (Pretrial Justice Institute 2017)

• In 2013, the Ferguson municipal court issued 32,975 arrest warrants for nonviolent offenses, mostly driving violations; the population of the city of Ferguson was only 21,135. (Chokehold 2017)

STATE OF THE STATE• Annually, Missouri spends nearly $22,000 on each prisoner, which is almost 3.5x more

than the $6500 it spends on each student in primary or secondary school. (MO Office of Administration 2017)

• The annual cost per prisoner in Missouri is almost 10x as much as the annual cost per parolee. (MO Department of Corrections 2016)

• Public defenders in Missouri are unable to spend the minimum time recommended by the American Bar Association for more than 97% of their cases, as the average public defender has between 100-200 cases at a time. (Reuters 2017)

• Nearly 60% of youth defendants come before the courts without legal counsel. (NJDC 2013)• On any given day, over 50,000 Missouri children have a parent in prison. (MODOC 2016)• 93% of those returning to prison require substance abuse treatment. (MO Department of

Corrections 2015)• Only 10% of female admissions to Missouri prisons are for new crimes, the other 90% are

for substance abuse treatment or revocations of parole, which includes non-criminal offenses. (Council of State Governments 2017)

• In 2015, over 5,500 or nearly 20% of students enrolled in SLPS were considered homeless, making them 87% more likely to drop out of school. Furthermore, dropping out of school makes an individual 4x more likely to go to prison. (Missouri State University 2015, Northeastern University 2009)

REFORM EFFORTS• In May 2017, Missouri got support from the federal Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and

the Pew Charitable Trusts to study the state criminal justice system, with technical assistance from the Council of State Governments (CSG). These findings brought about policy options to improve community-based treatment, lower recidivism rates, and increase public safety, which are reflected in HB 1355, which was signed into law in June 2018. (CSG 2017)

• In July 2018, Missouri legislature approved a $5 million Justice Reinvestment Initiative Treatment Pilot at the request of the Department of Corrections. The money will be used to pilot substance abuse treatment programs in Buchanan, Butler, & Boone counties. (MODOC 2018)

• In May 2018, Missouri General Assembly voted to “raise the age” for automatically trying youth as adults from 17 to 18. Previously, Missouri had been only 1 of 5 states that tried all 17-year-olds as adults. (Missouri Legislature 2018)

ACTION STEPS• Contact your state legislators to tell them you support things such as bail reform, the use of

treatment courts & diversion programs, the elimination of mandatory minimums, and other reforms to bring about a more effective and humane criminal justice system. Find your representatives at: www.senate.mo.gov/LegisLookup/

• Track relevant legislation at: www.empowermissouri.org/task-forces/criminal-justice/ or www.fastdemocracy.com

• Vote in your local and state elections. Before voting, research your state & local candidates for attorney general, sheriff, circuit attorney, judgeships, and other justice-involved officials to see if they are “tough on crime” or if they are committed to smarter, more effective, and more humane justice reform. Find your local and state election dates by visiting this website: www.sos.mo.gov/elections/calendar

Consider hosting a movie night to watch 13th available on Netflix.Use the questions below to get the conversation started:• How did you feel after viewing 13th? What message did you take away from the

film?• How does 13th characterize our criminal justice system and political institutions?• How do you think media/pop culture representations of people of color have

contributed to the climate of fear and anxiety?• Were you surprised to learn about the racial underpinnings of previous criminal

justice legislation? Why or why not?

Use these talking points when helping inform others in your social circle:• Mass incarceration is a self-perpetuating ecosystem. It is a distinctly American

phenomenon of extreme rates of incarceration, concentrated in poor communities of color.

• Mass incarceration exists in an environment that does not need external action, and it is capable of self-correction to preserve itself.

• Children whose parents have been or are incarcerated are more likely to experience poorer health and education outcomes.

• The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world, and its incarceration rate has more than quadrupled since 1970.
