Ava Duvernay’s 2016 documentary “13th” explores how our nation’s prisons are disproportionately filled with African-Americans.
Of the two million people incarcerated in the United States, roughly 40 percent are African-Americans, even though they’re less than 7 percent of the population.

L.A. Times columnist LZ Granderson wrote an opinion piece about ending mass incarceration.
