2. A lot of people in jail have not been convicted..

Jail is where people who have yet to go to trial but cannot bond out for whatever reason (lack of cash being a major one) are held, before the trial they are considered innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

So you have no idea if those people at least are "pretty bad" or not..
