text: what percentage of the u.s. population has a current or past felony record? since about 0.7% of the u.s. is incarcerated at any given time, i would imagine the percentage has got to be at least 10%--since many first time felons are nevver incarcerated at all, but i would like to know if there is a fbi, doj, or other r4eliable statistic. 25% of the us population is incarcertated at any given time!!!!
