Bookings in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail
African American males represented a larger portion of people booked in ACRJ from 2014 to 2016 than in the general population, according to a recent report. The disproportionate level is also present in arrests, criminal charges and convictions.
The report notes that while Hispanic people also are disproportionately represented in jail populations nationally, local data variously coded Hispanic people as "White," "Black," and "Other," making it difficult to accurately determine representation. Information about other races and ethnicities is present in the report.
