Summary

Description
English: Line chart showing the number of incarcerated americans in the U.S. prison system, divided by race, during the 1978-2022 timespan. A major spike of incarcerations can be seen after the 1980s.

Races/ethnicities other than the ones represented in the graph were not included because of partial, not present or intelligible data.

To better understand the graph and the proportions between the number of the incarcerated members of a community and its total members, it is recommended to have a clear view of the composition of the U.S. population.
