Some minority populations are over-represented among perpetrators resulting in them being over-represented in prisons.
It is reasonable to ask why they are over-represented among perpetrators of crimes. And what might reduce this.
But not prosecuting crimes harms non-criminals.

It admits that minority populations is over-represented in prisons. So which of the following is true:
1. they are essentially more violent,
2. the legal system is built to justify condemning different cultures
3. that they systemically can't afford a good defense?
1 is bigotry

So which is it, 1 or 2?
If 1, the answer you are suggesting is to get rid of what is essentially the problem (minorities).
If 2, then the legal system should adapt to the other cultures.

You have created a false choice and then put a false solution on it.

One disparity that jumps out w/ bad outcomes across racial groups is lack of 2 parent homes.

Is it lack of two parents or specifically lack of a father.
Does a two female parent home solve this?

No use debating an ideological partisan who forces a false dilemma logical fallacy. It only wants you to confirm its presuppositions.
