    The document examines racial disparities in drug delivery arrests. It finds that the war on drugs has been waged most vigorously in poor minority neighborhoods, despite similar drug use rates across races. Police are more likely to make observable drug arrests in poor minority areas compared to other neighborhoods. As a result, the U.S. prison population now largely comprises of nonviolent drug offenders who are disproportionately black and Hispanic.
