When I answered this last night I missed something pretty obvious.

If you have 5 black people and 5 white people found guilty and in jail
then they each make up 50% of the population..

But if, say, the black people are in jail for doing 2 criminal acts
and the whites only 1 then that would mean the blacks make up 50% of
the jail population but had committed 66% of the crimes..

On the plus side, they are not under represented in this case, just
guilty of doing more crimes..     B)
