That could cover a lot of the remaining seventeen percent, all right.

The people I've known and spoken with have all been among the eighty-three. (Possibly an artifact of observation; for some reason people who have been through the same crap have a knack for finding each other in a crowd.)

My speculations do tie in with the fact that most convicts are male; a woman forced to have a child would be likelier to resent a male, it seems to me. (On the other hand, maybe men just commit stupider crimes than women. Whenever somebody compares stupid blunders by sex, I cringe and try to make myself less conspicuous. I've seen a lot. Not so many by women.)
