Iowa has a 3% black population, but last time I checked something like a fourth of its prison population is black. Not a great state to be black in.
and most are for non-violent crimes as simple as pot possession...blacks are arrested and convicted at nearly double the rate even though the use is about the same...Iowa reps have been trying hard to change this, but like all states, drug laws and addiction are a major problem...sad...
@SeaGreenEyez It's mostly caused by the War On Drugs and harsher sentencing for blacks than whites.
