If you look at current incarceration statistics I'd say it's still happening.


view as:

I don't know if it's the same, because I don't know if that's happening with the same sort of pre-meditated malice. Like, I don't think the people behind the incarceration soad "Let's jail all the poor black people" up front, whereas that was the explicit goal of some of these Progressive-era sterilization programs.

Then again, the intentions ultimately don't matter if you're on the receiving end of it.
