As a case study, the Trump admin has done all those things (except the littering I guess) so I would say less likely since none of them have gone to prison.

The poor and marginalized tend to be incarcerated at much higher rates for lesser crimes than the richer and/or powerful whose crimes are much broader and more impactful on society.

The system in question in Essex is broken because it penalizes one race at higher rates than another race which commits the same crimes.
