Nearly one-third of all Black and/or African American men have been incarcerated either as adolescents or adults. This negatively affects Black men's ability to keep and maintain jobs and relationships. Maintaining a sexual relationship with just one person is difficult when Black men are incarcerated at high rates and cycle in and out of the prison system. Fewer available Black men in the community means Black couples have less opportunity for long-term monogamy and more chance for multiple partnerships . . . (source)
