California's Young White Males

When studying the prison system, social scientists all too often focus on the impact that prisons have had in respect to African Americans.  They tend to overlook the inadvertent impact that the prison industrial complex has had upon white males. In 1995, the state of California spent more on prisons  than on higher education and in the past 30 years, California has built more than 20 prisons but did not even create one more campus for the University of California  system (Malveaux, 2001,p.32).

One little known law that had been passed during the Clinton administration is being strenuously enforced under President Bush (2001, p.32). That is, the regulation
