Why are African-Americans allegedly arrested more frequently for drug laws than Caucasians?

African-Americans tend to come from communities and areas that are more violent. As a result, there is a more intensive police presence in those areas because of the violent crimes, it is an allocation based on the overall likelihood of violent crime -- not just drug offenses. When the police are already mobilized in an area, they are more likely to make arrests of the people in that area, which is described by the higher rate of arrests of African-Americans for drug offenses.

Where are you taken when you are arrested?
It depends on what officer arrests you and where you allegedly broke the law. If you're arrested in a city by a city policeman, you'll probably go to the city's jail. If you're out in the country and you're arrested by a sheriff, you may well end up in the county jail. I believe federal law enforcement has arrangements with counties and cities to house their newly arrested suspects. I just read an article where a person who was arrested for breaking a federal law was remanded to the Marshall's custody - in a county jail.
