Please review the data behind your catchy "1 in 3" headline. At the very least it's out of date, if not sensationalist. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fac

  I've been using the past tense this whole time, I am not claiming that it is occurring in the present. In the 80s and 90s, 1 out of every 3 young black men was under current custody by the criminal justice system, and the lifetime rates were close to the 1 in 3. Today, you are correct that it is closer to 1 in 4 (although still above). I don't think this makes a very large difference in my point.
