Although it might be a good idea in theory, I don't think segregated prisons would work. What would you do with the people of mixed race? Make a prison for each mix?
I don't think most of the violence in prisons happen because of race hatred anyway. Prisons are like a micro-cosmos of the outside world, it's just that it's quite a bit more violent and regulated - the latter because it has to be to protect us on the outside.
I guess some of you guys who live in cities or large towns, have noticed that immigrants tend to find places to live near other immigrants from their home-country or culture? It's only natural in my opinion. I would do that too, if I moved to another country. Especially if the culture I moved into was very different from what I had back home.
It's the same in prisons, I think. People will befriend other people who are like themselves, before they start befriending others.
