Description
Paris Adkins-Jackson and co-authors study in 2023 whether white older adults gained sharper minds from the unequal prison boom that followed the 1994 Crime Bill. That law pushed local areas to fund prisons, lengthen terms, and police harder. Its burden fell most on Black communities. The team asked whether those racialized as white, the supposed winners, truly gained.
They built a county score for the Black-white gap in jail and prison rates from 1995 to 2005. They linked it to thinking scores for more than thirteen thousand white adults over fifty. Wider jail gaps went with slightly better later scores in white adults, a finding the authors set against the wider harms of the policy.
