So, there are 707 per 100,000 in the system. Which means that there are 999,293 per 100,000 who aren't. How does this support Boudin's claim that a "majority" of us have family members in prison?

US currently incarcerates 2.3MM (way too many, I agree), but there are ~129MM households in the US. For the majority of households to have at least 1 member incarcerated, we would need 65MM prisoners minimum. For
@chesaboudin to not be a liar, we better start imprisoning & fast.pic.twitter.com/5sAngFJXBD

But that would be a challenge too, because since the incredibly racist crack cocaine and gang laws of the 80s ebbed, the prison population has been steadily falling. Comrade
@chesaboudin could have made this point without lying about the numbers. How very Trump of him.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

The level of stupid in these tweets (yours, not Chesa’s) is somewhat hard to comprehend, especially since your only point was to pedantically nitpick something that wasn’t even the main point of the original tweet. Mind boggling.pic.twitter.com/pqR2L4MIf1

The stupidity lies in the thinking that the "Majority of Americans currently or formerly have had immediate family members incarcerated." and stupider are those that agree with it.

Published study estimating 45% of Americans have ever had an immediate family member incarcerated. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2378023119829332# … Another published study estimating 1/2, increasing to 63% if you include extended family. https://everysecond.fwd.us/downloads/EverySecond.fwd.us.pdf …

The stupidity definitely lies in the 20 things
@EsmeAlaki got wrong, like that the prison population went down after the 80’s (it peaked in the 2000’s), or that the relevant number is 2.5m right now, instead of the 12-14million who cycle through jails and prisons per year /11 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

or the fact that he completely ignored that Chesa included “formerly,” or the failure to realize that people typically have 4-8 “immediate family members,” if you include parents, siblings, spouses, and children’s /2

Or the reductive nonsense belief that you could estimate it by taking the number of households and dividing it by 2... chesa didn’t say “half of current households have a member incarcerated” did he? No. He didn’t. Y’all smug pedantic twerps /3

And of course, the dumbest part is that he completely ignored the point of Chesas tweet in order to score some cheap pedantic “I’m smarter than you” point. /4

Not even sure what to make if this word salad. Is this some sort of bargain basement Turing test?
