There is slightly difference between prison system during Jim Crow which was outlined in Slavery by another name and the current system of Mass Incarceration described by Michelle Alexander in her chapter and her speech. The Slavery by another name is properly based on the experience of the author, whereas Michelle Alexander explains that today, an extraordinary percentage of black men in the United States are legally deprived of the right to vote, as their ancestors have been throughout American history (Alexander).

I am agreed with the Alexander's thesis that the prison system is part of a new colorblind racial caste system. The problems facing poor communities of color, including those related to delinquency and increased incarceration rates, were for me a consequence of poverty and the lack of quality education, the legacy life of slavery and Jim Crow (Slavery by Another Name).

Racial caste can be colorblind because they are connected distinctively in every area and bring another classification called racial, the minorities individuals, dark family too far to be in any way considered negroes: all marriage between a white individual and a negro individual or negro plummet up to the fourth era is illegal, and private relations with only one parent present are likewise prohibited between a white individual and a negro individual or negro plunge until the fourth era (Coates, Ta-Nehisi).The changes that have occurred since the collapse of the Jim Crow system are less about the fundamental structures of our society than the language used to justify them. In the age of indifference to skin color and color-blindness, it is no longer socially acceptable to justify discrimination, exclusion and contempt by explicitly invoking race. We do not do it. Rather than race, it is the judicial system that is used to label people of color as "criminals" and to reproduce all those practices that are supposed to belong to the past.
