I find it interesting that women overall have a far lower chance of going to jail/prison than men, but at the same time, single mothers have a far higher ratio of children who end up in jail/prison, relative to single fathers.

How can jail/prison be by far a majority males, yet single fathers are statistically far less likely to have kids that go to jail/prison relative to single mothers?

Seems like a paradox that women lead people to prison/jail more often than men, yet men are the ones who are usually in jail/prison.
