what is the total inmate population in california?

i am doing a policy analysis on gang recidivism in california.
of the total inmate population in california (168,350) i found that approx 7,700 of them are gang affiliated…making 6% of the total inmate population gang affiliated
66% of the total inmate population recidivate…making 4% of them gang affiliated.
i am not sure if my calculations are correct. please let me know. and where you might be getting your sources from.

Too many. Why? Because of the worthless, criminal, reckless, senseless, conservative war on drugs. That simple. If the US Govt finally got common sense, and shot the DEA and all his members to death, and officially ended the war on drugs, there would be…. Like 60% less inmates? Think about it.

By the way, your method isn’t logically correct. One proportion isn’t related to the other, so you can’t take two thirds of the gang members and assume they’ll recidivate. ¬¬
Look more indepth in the official staistics (bunch of lies, but at least they’re accepted in "serious" or "professional" investigations, and will probably make your work pass the exam)
