Two questions

1. What is the significance of the numbers to the right of each name.

2. Why in the world is Lee, so much higher than the rest.

 

I'll give everyone a while to guess before we start a discussion on "Lee" as a middle name.

 

BTW if your middle name is Lee I apologize and in no way want to offend you.

FWIW I only know the middle name of 2 users and neither is Lee.

Number to the right how many times those appear as last names in the state?

 

I'd imagine Lee has something to do with General Lee.

[Jumper_Dad]

No that's not it for either.

[BigVMan23]

How many of those guys with those names are in the KY prison system?

[spindoc]

My middle name is Lee. So, I'll guess the number to the right means BOSS.

I'm going to presume that for the female list, "Lynn" will occupy a similar space as "Lee" for the men. Seemed like every girl I grew up with and three of her four sisters all had the middle name of "Lynn."

 

Also reminds me of that scene in "Ted."

The number of times those middle names belong to women?

The number of times those middle names belong to women?

 

And they are named after General Lee. The car, not the Commander of the Confederate Army.

[Jumper_Dad]

How many of those guys with those names are in the KY prison system?

 

There are people with every middle name in the prison system I'd guess...you are getting close.

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

The number of convicted murderers with those middle names?

[Jumper_Dad]

The number of convicted murderers with those middle names?

 

You guys are all around it...so I'll spill it so we can discuss the reason that we need to summarily just lock up everyone with "Lee" as a middle game.

So it's got to be the legislature, then, or is that the same list?

Are the most popular middle names and the number to the right are the number in Kentucky Jails or Prisons with those middle names.

 

So what the heck is going on with LEE?

Why is the middle name Lee so much more prominent in the penal system in KY than any other middle name, any ideas? Are people named Lee being profiled or are they just happen to be committing more crimes?

[Jumper_Dad]

You would think that all things being equal the numbers would be some what equal as far as the number incarcerated with each name.
