The bar graph represents an estimation of the number of sentenced prisoners of three races, namely white, black, and Latino, for every 100,000 U.S. residents in December 2010.
Overall, of all age groups, black people were the most imprisoned. While many crimes were done by people aged between 18 and 41, this ratio gradually declined for people of age 42 and above.
From 18 to 41 years of age, black people dominated the prisons; this figure rose to just above 7,000 members in prison. Whereas, Latino and white people maintained the same number of people, divided into three different age groups, around 2,500 prisoners and 1,000 prisoners, respectively.
On the other hand, people of age above 41 years committed less crime compared to the young and middle-aged persons. Where black imprisonment reduced from just over 2,000 to approximately 500, in the last three groups of age. Similarly, Latino people who were sentenced did not cross the 1,000 mark. Notably, white prisoners in the older age group were always less than 500 members.
