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 …

Words like “majority?” (Even in the tendentious “study” you cite, 45% is not a majority by any definition that I’m aware of).

I tried to construct the best case scenario for Chesa’s claim by spreading out the incarceration among as many households as possible. Since the claim is about the “majority of families,” having multiple incarcerated person per household would actually work against his claim.
-
Another way I tried to help his claim was by assuming that each household is a different family, which is not necessarily correct. A single extended family may be spread across multiple households, but I was trying to give Chesa as much opportunity to not lie as possible.
