No, incarcerating more White people would not be a solution to achieving racial equity in incarceration. The issue of racial disparities in incarceration is not about incarcerating more or less people of a certain race or ethnicity, but rather addressing the systemic inequalities and biases that lead to disproportionate representation of Black individuals in the criminal justice system.
It is important to recognize that incarceration is a complex issue that affects individuals, families, and communities in various ways. Solutions must focus on addressing the root causes of crime, promoting access to education, employment, and other resources that can help people avoid involvement in the criminal justice system. Additionally, legal and criminal justice reforms that promote fairness, equality, and rehabilitation can help reduce the number of people incarcerated, regardless of their race or ethnicity.
Addressing systemic and institutionalized biases and inequalities, and promoting fairness and equitable opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their race or ethnicity, is the key to achieving racial equity in incarceration.
