Have you noticed that the jail population is heavily skewed towards men? And yet, the population of the US is mostly 50/50 men vs women. Evidently, law enforcement and the courts are heavily sexist and do not give equal justice to each sex. Unless maybe women don't commit as nearly as much crime as men do. Nah, that can't be it

That's a great point -- IIRC, all the fugitives profiled by this newspaper were men. Why were there no women represented?
