Like the majority of Americans, I have an immediate family member locked up behind bars. My dad is in prison & at the age of 75, he is high risk for the virus. If we forget about incarcerated people we’ll lose to the virus and we’ll lose ourselves.https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-local-correspondents/chesa-boudin-on-his-incarcerated-father-and-the-threat-of-the-coronavirus-in-prisons …

A study of 4000 people, and they define incarcerated as spending one night more more in jail. What a misleading headline.

Read the study. It’s 51% have had a family member spend one night or more in jail. Not currently incarcerated.

The sample size is ok statistically but I’d really like to see the methodology. It seems far too high.

There's also a significant difference between "jail" and "prison". The study Chesa cited defines "incarcerated" as "ever spent at least one night in jail". I guarantee you over 90% of cases in that sample were DUI's that ended in plea bargains / probation.

That article cites this study https://everysecond.fwd.us/downloads/EverySecond.fwd.us.pdf … and the study claims it's one-third of Americans (and less than one-half of US adults).pic.twitter.com/fKYcE9a8lm

LOL this study defines "incarcerated" as anyone who's ever spent a single night in jail. I.e. most of those are DUI's that led to a plea bargain w/ probation. Take those out of the equation and the share of Americans with ACTUAL incarcerated family members is probably like 5%.
