Without Prejudice

Most people believe that British justice is, above all, just. If you're black, however, you're more likely to be arrested, more likely to be prosecuted, more likely to go to prison, and more likely to receive a longer sentence than if you are white, say barristers and solicitors of the Society of Black Lawyers. Using this Open Space, they argue that there is something dangerously wrong at the heart of our criminal justice system - that white Britons are sending black Britons to prison at a rate that condemns the system itself as racist.
