These victims of racial injustice also face a system that jails their fathers and male role models in disproportionate numbers and thus deprives them of the full range of potential caregiving experiences. When our justice system kills and over-incarcerates Black men, it disrupts families and affects children. Science tells us that responsive and sensitive caregiving builds healthy brains.
