If some groups are treated more harshly in sentencing then other groups, that will result in disparities ...

From ... https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/208129.pdf

Results: Eighty-five studies meeting our stated eligibility criteria were located. Analysis of these data reveal that, after taking into account defendant criminal history and current offense seriousness, African-Americans and Latinos were generally sentenced more harshly than whites.
...

Conclusions: Overall, these findings call into question the so-called “no discrimination thesis.” These findings suggest that policy-makers need to re-evaluate sentencing practices, especially in regards to drug offenses and the decision to incarcerate.

Well ... first of all, the people affected by the issue of overincarceration ... are not all criminals.

To some extent, the innocent get caught up in that net as well (witness the unduly incarcerated individuals who dna evidence has recently cleared).

Also, there are family members. The overall effect, is likely, larger than you imagine ....

People of color are OVERincarcerated.

That's what 85 studies show.

So, yes, that OVERincarceration does affect the success of their children.
