A representative statewide analysis from the Florida Department of Corrections covering 1994-1996 data shows the judicial system was not racist, and made racially neutral decisions.
There was no racial bias found in the decision to sentence an offender to prison, or on the length of prison sentences.
Black offenders and White offenders, as well as other racial groups, were treated equally by the Florida court system.
(n = 221,351)
