Pleаse see the prоmpt thаt I submitted tо ChаtGPT and what ChatGPT spit оut for it below: Dear ChatGPT: Please write an essay for the following prompt: Explain the major themes of: the 13th documentary, the Crack: Cocaine, Corruption, and Conspiracy documentary, and The New Jim Crow book. How do they compare to recent data about each area of the criminal justice system (ex. police, courts, and corrections)? Here is the essay response from ChatGPT below in italics: Understanding Systemic Injustice: Major Themes in 13th, Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy, and The New Jim Crow and Their Connection to Modern Criminal Justice Data The American criminal justice system has long been criticized for its deep-rooted inequalities and systemic racial biases. Three powerful works—Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th, the Netflix documentary Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy, and Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow—critically examine different aspects of mass incarceration, the war on drugs, and institutionalized racism. Each provides historical context, emotional testimony, and empirical evidence to explain how policies disproportionately affect communities of color, particularly Black Americans. When compared with recent data on policing, courts, and corrections, it is clear that the major themes presented in these works remain deeply relevant and are reflected in current trends. Major Themes in the Works 13th focuses on how the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery "except as punishment for a crime," has been exploited to justify the mass incarceration of Black Americans. Ava DuVernay traces the evolution of racial control from slavery to convict leasing, Jim Crow laws, and modern incarceration. One key theme is that criminalization has become a tool for maintaining racial hierarchies. The film argues that the prison-industrial complex profits from incarcerating people of color and that media-driven political campaigns—like Richard Nixon’s “law and order” rhetoric and Ronald Reagan’s war on drugs—have used fear to justify oppressive policies. Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy builds on this narrative by showing how the crack epidemic of the 1980s disproportionately affected Black communities. A central theme is that systemic racism, fueled by political motives and media sensationalism, led to harsher sentencing laws for crack (more common in Black neighborhoods) than for powder cocaine (more common among white users), despite their pharmacological similarity. The documentary highlights the failure of policymakers to invest in treatment or social support, choosing punishment over rehabilitation. The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander ties these threads together in a comprehensive analysis of mass incarceration as a racial caste system. Alexander argues that the war on drugs and tough-on-crime policies have created a system where Black Americans are disproportionately arrested, sentenced, and disenfranchised. A major theme is that mass incarceration functions as a modern form of social control, systematically stripping millions of their rights even after they have served their sentences. Comparing the Themes to Current Criminal Justice Data When examining recent data from different sectors of the criminal justice system, it becomes evident that the concerns raised by these works continue to be valid. Policing: Data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics and academic studies show that Black Americans are still far more likely to be stopped, searched, and arrested than white Americans. According to a 2022 report from the Mapping Police Violence database, Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than white people, despite being 1.3 times more likely to be unarmed. These patterns echo 13th’s depiction of racialized law enforcement and the surveillance of Black communities. Courts: Sentencing disparities remain significant. A 2023 U.S. Sentencing Commission report found that Black male offenders received sentences that were on average 19.1% longer than those of white male offenders for similar crimes. This directly supports the themes explored in Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy, particularly the legacy of unequal drug sentencing. Although the 100:1 disparity between crack and powder cocaine sentences was reduced to 18:1 in 2010 (via the Fair Sentencing Act), this still reflects structural inequality. Corrections: The U.S. continues to have the highest incarceration rate in the world. As of 2024, Black Americans represent about 13% of the U.S. population but account for approximately 38% of the prison population. Many formerly incarcerated individuals face barriers to employment, housing, and voting rights—issues that Alexander identifies as components of the "new Jim Crow." According to the Sentencing Project, more than 5 million Americans are disenfranchised due to felony convictions, with Black Americans disproportionately affected. Conclusion 13th, Crack: Cocaine, Corruption & Conspiracy, and The New Jim Crow all share a central message: the criminal justice system has been shaped by policies and ideologies that reinforce racial inequality. Whether through the legacy of slavery, the war on drugs, or modern sentencing laws, these works show how Black Americans have been systematically targeted and oppressed. Recent data on police behavior, sentencing, and incarceration rates confirm that these themes are not merely historical—they are ongoing realities. Understanding these connections is essential for anyone committed to criminal justice reform and racial equity in America. Now for your final exam: Please copy the above essay response to create your own document and then edit/add to it in RED so that I can easily see what changes you make (this is REQUIRED) Your task is this: Update/fix information (surprise, ChatGPT isn't up to date on the studies, so certain information is wrong, outdated, or from non-reputable sources that we didn't use in this class) and ADD more from what you've learned in this class, specifically with the data, research, studies, documentaries, etc. that were used IN this class (this is required - I only want to see information included that we went over in this class, specifically - see the Outside Resources and Podcast episodes to help you - and be sure to CITE the material you use). ChatGPT doesn't know what we used, so it's time for you to put on your own thinking cap and apply what you've learned! It would also be useful to include more state and local data, as the ChatGPT response relies mainly on national level data, so please make sure to add this information in too... Additionally, the summary of the themes from The New Jim Crow, the 13th documentary, and the Crack: Cocaine, Corruption, and Conspiracy documentary could all use some work. Add more of your own thoughts to this section too.
