In the cities of the North one to twenty-three whites were arrested and _one_ to six Negroes; in the South excluding Wilmington, Del., and Washington, _one_ to twenty whites and _one_ to eight for the Negroes. In Detroit: _one_ for every two plus Negroes were arrested. In this connection, it would seem that a comparison of the jail population of a Northern and a Southern State might be of interest. For this purpose Alabama and Connecticut were selected. In 1910, Alabama had a white population of 1,228,832 and 908,282 Negroes while Connecticut had 1,098,897 whites and 15,174 Negroes.[81:3] In both Alabama and Connecticut the ratio of whites and Negroes sent to jail during the fiscal year ending September 30, 1914, was about the same, _one_ white to four Negroes.[81:4] However, in Alabama _one_ white person to 216 of the white population as against _one_ to 54 of the Negro, while in Connecticut, _one_ white person to 100, and _one_ Negro to 20 was put in jail. Again, the four counties of Connecticut embracing the large cities of the State, and having nearly all the Negro population, sent to jail _one_ white to 92 of the white population, and _one_ Negro to 24 of the Negro, or nearly four times their proportion.[81:5] But in the other four counties with an aggregate of 187,058 whites and 1,661 Negroes the ratio was _one_ to 174 for the whites, and _one_ to 64 for the Negroes or hardly three times as many. Now, taking the three counties of Alabama in which the cities of Montgomery, Mobile, and Birmingham are located, with an aggregate population of 207,295 whites and 182,211 Negroes, _one_ white person to 90 was sent to jail and _one_ Negro to 21, or nearly four and one-half times as many. Moreover, twenty-two counties with no towns of more than 1000 population each, and having a total population of 293,187 whites and 274,533 Negroes _one_ white to 523 was sent to jail and _one_ Negro to 141, or nearly four Negroes to one white.
