A new report from a pair of criminal justice advocacy group says the state of Oklahoma has disproportionately imprisoned Black residents during the COVID-19 pandemic. During COVID, the proportion of prison admissions for Black Oklahomans was nearly 1.5 times higher than usual, reads the report, jointly released this month by FWD.us and the Terence Crutcher Foundation. In 2019, Black people accounted for 21% of all prison admissions in Oklahoma. However, Black people made up 30% of prison admissions in June 2020, a 43.5% increase from the prior period.
Dr. Tiffany Crutcher, founder of the Terence Crutcher Foundation, named for her twin brother who was shot and killed by Tulsa Police Department officer Betty Shelby in 2016, testified before a U.S. Commission on Civil Rights hearing conducted virtually on Dec. 15.
