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 …

Just so we’re clear, the “math” offered above, estimating that 65MM Americans would need to be incarcerated for Chesa’s stmt to be true, is wrong in every possible respect. Just dead wrong.

The fact that incarceration and families represent cluster events and not random sampling means that Chesa’s claim is almost surely wrong. The 65 mm claim a too simplistic, but is probably closer to the truth than Chesa’s arithmetic.
