Post 3 of 4 — Who Is Behind Bars? 
 
Statistics may be faceless, but behind every percentage is a life and a family. 
 
Demographic findings compiled from the reviewed sources indicate that 86% of these prisoners were married, while women accounted for roughly 5% of financial prisoners. 
 
The same sources reported poverty for 73%, low literacy for 43%, high-risk behavior for 17%, and negative peer influence for 3% as associated factors. 
 
These percentages describe reported associations and should not be interpreted as proof of causation.
