This simple question is really a very complex social issue with many explanations. No single answer can do this question justice.

Some of the reasons for the tremendous black prison population:

1. Longer prison sentences given to blacks, and fewer blacks given probation for offenses when compared to whites.

2. Blacks tend to be charged with crimes with harsher penalties when compared to white doing similar offenses.

3. Juries are more likely to convict black defendants than white.

These are the major justice explanations.

4. More blacks live in deep poverty than whites.

5. More blacks live within a pervasive drug community environment than whites.

6. Blacks have a more difficult time finding good jobs and tend to be last hired, first fired.

7. The multigenerational black family closely integrated with the religious life of the community has been breaking up. The social support structure is weakening.

These are some of the sociological explanations.

8. More crimes are committed by blacks.

9 Blacks on average have lower education levels and tend to be more accepting of crime as an alternative to work.

10. A pervasive ne'er do well class (quoting black author W.E.B. DuBois) exists only to live off of other people and cause destruction and hardship to others.

These are the harsh but mostly true criminal explanations.

Please take all of these in context as a set. There are other reasons, too, and some of these explanations are arguable. Apologies to anyone offended by this answer; please do not replace it with cliches and ill thought one line replies.

Aside from J-Pay, inmates may have limited use of computers for GED classes those without high school diplomas are required to attend. These computers are networked in a closed system, and there is no outside (internet) connection.
