More than half of all people sentenced to serve time in federal prison so far in 2011 for felony crimes have been Hispanic

Hispanics already outnumber all other ethnic groups sent to prison for committing federal felonies. Hispanics comprised 50.3% of all people sentenced in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011, blacks 19.7% and whites 26.4%. In comparison, in 2010, Hispanics made up just 16% of the whole U.S. population.
