Data suggests overt discrimination in courts, leading to overincarceration of people of color

Cheddar cheese, waterparks and farmers’ markets … thinking of Wisconsin usually brings up these fun Midwest staples. Across the state, residents think fondly of their hometowns, and here in Madison, we pride ourselves on liberal political leanings and burgeoning art culture.
But Wisconsin has under-publicized some of its more painful attributes. This state has some of the highest racial disparities in the country, especially when it comes to prison demographics.
Some communities are more ‘unlivable’ for Black Americans than others but overall, the entire state of Wisconsin has roots in discriminatory behavior, which leads to shockingly high incarceration rates for people of color.
In the Wisconsin judicial district made up of Kenosha, Racine and Walworth counties, black men are more than 50 percent more likely to be sentenced to prison than white men accused of similar crimes, a study shows.
According to data included in a draft report for the Wisconsin Court System, the three-county Second Circuit District has among the stateâs worst disparities in sentencing outcomes when comparing white men charged with crimes to black and Hispanic men.
The report was created by the court systemâs Office of Research and Justice Statistics, which presented the draft version in January 2020. The study â which states it is building on an analysis conducted by Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Patience Roggensack in 2016 â looked at differences by race for felony cases sentenced in Wisconsin between 2009 and 2018. The study looks at the state as a whole, and by outcomes in the stateâs nine judicial districts.
