Even in the narrow definition you use it is probably well over 10%.  We're talking poor people here, people.  There's really very little they can do to defend themselves if they're accused.

The rough part is the rapings they will receive in the joint.. turns a 3-5 year incarceration into a death sentence.

It seems Cobourn believes being a black and/or a poor to be a crime.  (Coburn is an astute).
