The Civil Rights Act of 1991 was primarily enacted to provide increased financial damages and jury trials in cases of intentional discrimination. It did not add any new categories of protected groups or authorize the formation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While imprisonment can be a penalty for some types of discrimination, it was not specifically addressed in this Act.
