RACE, ETHICS AND PUBLIC POLICY

There is reform and there is revolution. The fragility of Black lives in white 
spaces is long overdue for both reformation and revolution within the criminal 
justice organizational model. It is with particular urgency that current litigation 
within the Department of Justice be examined as it is an example of latent re-
sponses of American government to societal fracture and potential policy re-
form. There is no more representation of the fragility of Black lives in white 
spaces than American prison systems and relative to this; sentencing policies 
that disproportionally affect Blacks. This paper is drawn from deontological 
ethics, holding that human rights are a moral obligation that should not be ex-
cluded in the formation of public policy or the application of justice. It is a fur-
ther suggestion that within reforms are potentials for revolutions. Salient ques-
tions proposed by this research are there accommodation for healing within 
structurally racist systems. Is reform enough or is there cause for revolutionary 
actions? The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into an 
alarming string of deaths within the Mississippi Department of Corrections. 
This paper will examine potential public policy changes that may emerge from 
that investigation as well as societal responses. Additionally, this paper is 
drawn from deontological ethics, holding that human rights are a moral obliga-
tion that should not be excluded in the formation of public policy or the appli-
cation of justice. 
Key words: race; ethics; public policy; Black lives; American government; 
investigation; revolution. 

 

Mass Incarceration in American Prisons and the advancement of 

Retributive Justice 

As much as the term mass incarceration has become integrated into eve-

ryday lexicon, according to researchers it was first used by “specialists in the 
field of punishment and society to describe tremendous changes in the scale of 

ПРАВОВОЕ ГОСУДАРСТВО: теория и практика

incarceration that began in the 1970s and became visible to readers of impris-
onment charts by the middle 1980s” (Simon, 2014). These same specialists 
voiced a myriad of concerns as the numbers of incarcerated Americans soared, 
namely the identified issues and criticisms were centered around; racial dispro-
portionately; high collateral costs to the communities of highest incarceration 
(Simon, 2014).  

The framework of the American prison is centered on retributive jus-

tice; however within this centering are salient questions of equitable distribu-
tion of retributive justice and race. Questioning the intersections of race, justice 
and retribution are necessary as the United States is the world’s leader in pun-
ishment, boasting a 2.2 million prison population (Materni, 2013). Scholars 
have longed questioned is there justice in punishment? The answer was per-
haps best answered by the late Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia, who 
remarked during Oral Argument for Miller v. Alabama, “Well, I thought that 
modern penology has abandoned that rehabilitation thing, and they – they no 
longer call prisons reformatories or – or whatever, and punishment is the – is 
the criterion now. Deserved punishment for crime” (Materni, 2013).  

What is revealed in Scalia’s remarks is there is no space within retribu-

tive punishment for healing or reform; mostly certainly this lack of accommo-
dation for healing is not made in policy considerations or legislative actions. 
What space is made available for humanity to receive full bodied justice? Bet-
ter explained beyond retribution what is there that exists for individuals in the 
American prison system. 

Prison is a micro society reflecting on a smaller scale, the society indi-

viduals have been subtracted from – within the space they now reside, they 
play out in smaller patterns the complexities of larger society complete with its 
push and pulls of humanity; never subtracted from the multifariousness of liv-
ing is the need for justice. Therefore, it is reasonable to then ask if there is no 
reformation is this justice. Scholars have reasonably proposed salient questions 
of why should there be concerned of applications of justice for those who are 
incarcerated. The answers are embedded in who is the majority population 
within American prisons and the communities that are fractured as result of 
these imprisonments. At least one article finds weight in how individuals are 
sentenced, but does not engage in the discussion of how these contribute to in-
equitable distributions of justice and the advancement of retribution in the 
place of actual justice (Materni, 2013). 

Death in Missippi and Institutionalized Racism as Public Policy  
The Department of Justice announced on February 5, 2020, that is inves-

tigating the conditions of four Missippi Prisons. The investigation will examine 
conditions at the Mississippi State Penitentiary (Parchman), Southern Mississip-
pi Correctional Institute, Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, and the Wil-
kinson County Correctional Facility. The State of Mississippi is responsible for 

№ 3 (61) 2020

all four facilities. According to a DOJ statement, the decision was made to inves-
tigate whether the Mississippi Department of Corrections adequately protects 
prisoners from physical harm at the hands of other prisoners at the four prisons, 
as well as whether there is adequate suicide prevention, including adequate men-
tal health care and appropriate use of isolation, at Parchman.  

The human rights violations within the Mississippi Department of Cor-

rections are not isolated and speak to broader implications of public policy and 
institutionalized racism. Department of Justice investigations are not reform or 
revolutionary, they are reactionary and a response to wrong doing. Institutional 
racism is described as a barrier to access, if applied to those individuals who 
are within the criminal justice organization model – it is a barrier to access to 
full-bodied justice, institutional racism is in service to disadvantage blacks in 
America. Mass incarceration and retribution has been the most effective tool of 
destabilization and devaluation of Black lives in America after slavery. 

Institutionalized racism “It is a term encompassing the, often uninten-

tional, barriers and selection/promotion procedures which serve to disad-
vantage members of ethnic minority groups”, (Ward, 2016) at least one defini-
tion is extended further to include indirect or institutional racism and asserts 
that institutionalized racism is “is virtually unrecognized by organizations but 
is an extremely contentious issue in the public sector” (Braham et al as cited in 
Ward, 2016). Retributive justice is in service to white American interests, as 
well as institutionalized racism – it matters not if the retribution is meted out in 
inequitable portions, one quite literally is in service to the other.  

Racism is woven into the fabric of American life, its normalization 

would then be likely be present in public policy, it is quite literally impossible in 
any corner of America. Ward (2016) citing, Dominelli (2002, 157) writes, that it 
is “often the veiled presence of racism in everyday activities which coincides 
with the failure to make connections between the various incarnations of rac-
ism.” Extracting racism from public policy would require a revolution of societal 
norms. Public policy responds to the white majority in American culture and has 
traditionally marginalized Black people. Marginalization is oppression and vio-
lence. Research supports that oppression fragments the individual American ex-
perience (Dominelli, 2002) this fragmentation leaves individuals “without alter-
natives or incapable of taking action to change his or her situation” (Dominelli, 
2002). Therefore, it is surmised this oppression and fragmentation works as an 
effective stratagem towards making Blacks physically and emotionally unavaila-
ble to active participants in the policy formation processes. When individuals 
come together in groups, they reverse this process (Dominelli, 2002). DOJ re-
sponses to injustice is not necessarily a reversal of injustice, or change in policy. 
Retributive justice remains intact even when under litigation – the policy is not 
unraveled, because it is the product of societal demand.

Policy analysis is purposely ignorant of race and inequality. Myers 

(2002) writes that issues of significance have escaped the policy analysis com-
munity and suggests, “The tools and techniques of modern policy analysis-
particularly those that emphasize the tension between equity and efficiency-
certainly ought to be of use in finding solutions to nagging problems confronting 
communities of color” (Myers, 2002). The root of the problem is white suprema-
cy and imperialism operating within the educational discipline of policy analysts.  

The Costs of Racism and Policy Formation 
What is most perplexing about policy analysis, is there not a solid defi-

nition of policy. This is a direct hit to understanding how policy is then formed 
if it essentially escapes definition, it is open to constant defining by a myriad of 
individuals who will consistently find reason to not involve in the necessity of 
race to be included. “Economists who teach policy analysis often have a pro-
pensity to think of the subject as the application of quantitative or microeco-
nomic tools to the investigation of public policy problems. Political scientists 
tend to have a broader view of what constitutes policy analysis” (Myers, 2002).  

Myers writes that his students are disinterested in economic analysis of 

policy formation, rather they “are primarily interested in resolving perplexing 
social problems that arise from the involvement of public agencies, bureaucra-
cies, and public decision making mechanisms and from the nature of the policy 
issue itself” (Myers, 2002). Myers writes that many quantitative skills are 
taught in policy analyst courses and there is a focus on efficiency, he asserts 
this efficiency criterion is often at odds with “alternative criteria that do and 
must enter into the political decision making process” (Myers, 2002). Myers 
further asserts there is an evident tension within the discipline; the strain exists 
between equity and cost-efficiency and the inherent trade-offs between the two 
(Myers, 2002).  

Myers gives salient examples of policy trade-offs that have failed to 

benefit stakeholders who have not been considered by analysts because of the 
focus on efficiency, “Transportation policies that seek to impose congestion 
taxes on drivers inherently disadvantage those whose income is low or who 
must use public transportation (Myers, Chung, and Saunders, 2001; Myers and 
Saunders, 1996). Environmental policies that seek to reduce pollution often pit 
gainers in some industries against losers in other industries” (Myers, 2022). 

It is not difficult to draw parallels between prison policies that are short 

on protections for human rights and further devalue Black lives, particularly 
when there is evidentiary support for a on focus cost-efficiency in the decision 
making process. There is no escaping an income analysis and the reality that 
even justice is an allocated resource in America, “Analysis of income-transfer 
policies typically confronts the tensions between efficiency and equity.4 Indeed, 
one could argue that the tension between equity and efficiency is characteristic 
of virtually every resource allocation dilemma confronted by modern policy

analysis” (Myers, 2022). Given that Black Americans are marginalized in every 
aspect of their lives and systematically denied resources that will increases their 
capacity to enjoy full participation in their American experiences; justice is yet 
another resource in which they receive in limited and adulterated portions. 

Myers writes that microeconomic analysis is a strength in policy analy-

sis as it provides an ability to make tensions and trade-offs explicit “in order to 
make policymaking and the advice to policymakers more effective and useful” 
(Myers, 2002). 

Ethics, Race and Justice 
A salient question relative to ethics is who bears the responsibility for 

justice? It is proposed that justice is an emotion, it is a cognitive process, how-
ever procedural justice an arguably fungible good within the criminal justice 
system; it has been exchanged at the expense of Black lives and humanity. This 
is the ethical crossroads of the DOJ investigation and Missippii Department of 
Correction; litigation is neither reform nor revolution – it is reactionary and 
evidence of continued ethical failure of the criminal justice system to support 
the lives of Blacks.  

Jonathan Wolff in his seminal work, Ethic and Public Policy: A Philo-

sophical Inquiry (2011) aimed to show there is definitive place within public 
policy for philosophy; more poignant is that Wolff presents an argument that 
philosophy can benefit from its interactions with public policy “Wolff argues 
that philosophical reasoning can contribute to the resolution of controversial 
public policy matters and that philosophers' interactions with the public policy 
world can improve how philosophy is done” (Vladman, 2013). 

Sustaining his arguments Wolff provides evidentiary support by begin-

ning each chapter of book with various interactions of public policy and phi-
losophy; “There is a chapter on animal experimentation, gambling, drugs, safe-
ty, crime and punishment, health, disability, and the free market. Each chapter 
surveys the current state of philosophical debate, describes recent movements 
on the public policy front, and suggests ways that philosophical reasoning can 
make a contribution” (Vladman, 2013). 

Little writes in Ethics, Economics, and Politics; Principles of Public 

Policy (2002) what is right is a necessary discussion, “People create and ac-
quire rights as parts of the process of socialization. It is a convention that 
promises create both duties and rights.” If Little is correct, then America has 
broken a promise to Black Americans; all men are created equal according to 
the language within the United State Constitution. The treatment of Blacks 
within the criminal justice organizational model is a gross ethical abrasion and 
an egregious breach of contract. Any litigation by the DOJ is reactionary and 
not reformative or revolutionary. 

Little writes the state acquires duties and rights conventionally, and 

“that have 100 years many states have acquired a right to enact redistributive

taxation that has become part of the moral ethos that regulate society” The 
moral ethos of America reflect that of the ruling, dominant class – whites. This 
same group shapes public policy which advances the rule of the state – if the 
ethics of the state are utilitarian/consequential then it is a direct reflection of 
desires of society.

Существуют реформы, и существуют революции. Проблема уязвимости 
жизни чернокожих среди белокожих людей давно назрела в качестве ос-
нования и для реформирования и для революционной реорганизации си-
стемы уголовного правосудия. В кратчайшие сроки необходимо рассмот-
реть текущее судопроизводство в Министерстве юстиции, поскольку оно 
служит примером скрытых ответных мер американского правительства на 
раскол общества и потенциальные политические реформы. Нет более по-
казательного примера уязвимости жизни чернокожих среди белых, чем в
