Like I heard the cop say it and the joke is clear that he considers Negrotown to be jail but even broader than that that might have been the joke all along.

It was an old-African-American dream of things being cool that's been in old movies from the 30's and I'm sure in various other examples.
The cop saying it was the jail at the end was a harsh reality thing...but all that colorful dancing and singing of the fantasy was just age-old Black escapist fantasy.

I didn't perceive it as the prison system either though perhaps it was deeper than I thought.. Seemed more like straight forward satire on the current state of affairs in the U.S. Or perhaps it was meant to be taken on two different levels. Though the cops comment at the end makes me wonder if it was about prison in a broader context.. Hmmm
