Which statement about American prisons is correct?

AMore people are sent to prison for violent crimes than non-violent crimes.
BDrug offenders are the main reason for increased jail population.
CThere are no alternatives to the traditional prison system for drug offenders.
DWhite users are more likely to be imprisoned than African-Americans.

Verified Answer :

BBecause D is highly wrong! There are more African-American people in jail than other races. The large war on Drugs put MANY people in jail, yet the state will put anyone in for even the smallest thing. 

Most of some of the longer prison sentences were given for Drugs.. Other crimes maybe life, but not all.
