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 …

Have had, not have; not the same.

And jail is not the same as prison. By conflating it all, they're acting like a night in jail for disorderly a decade ago is comparable to currently being incarcerated for having killed cops. Such a ridiculous position they're taking in this thread.

Jail and prison are two different things. If your cousin spent the night in the drunk tank for a DUI isn't the same as being responsible for 2 dead cops.

LOL These stats lump serial killers and people who once spent a night in a drunk tank in the same category of "have been incarcerated". Give me a break. Remove DUI's and bar fights from the equation and the share of Americans who've had an incarcerated family member is like 5%.

LOL they include a single night in a county jail as "incarcerated" in order to MASSIVELY pad these stats for shock value. That's not "prison". If you take out the people who've spent one night in a drunk tank, that percentage probably drops to like 10%.
