But considering that it is the highest percentage in the world, yeah it's pretty damn high.

Oh and thats just total population 1 in 9 young (20-35) black males are in jail. Wow...

Oh and while looking up those figures i saw something interesting.
In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college. But in 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. I think I'd heard this before but seeing it again it is still amazing.

Hmmm, What started in the 80's that could have led to this?
Crack?
