WHY WE GATHER VIRTUALLY
African Americans in Iowa are only 3.% of the population, yet they are 26% of the prison population. They are 11.1 times more likely than their Caucasian counterparts to be incarcerated, ranking Iowa as number 1 in the nation for this statistic. Other minority groups are also disproportionately represented.
