Perhaps I won't find your answer, but I do know why: you made it up.
However, let's talk stats, and bear in mind when I say this, I'm going by what the prisoners themselves identified as: according to the federal bureau of prisons, the religious occupy a proportionally higher percentage of the prison population than the general population, and this is also true of Catholics as a denomination. Meanwhile, for contrast, in terms of atheists, the results are reversed; nonbelievers are proportionally lower in prison than they are in the outside world. You can look all this up, too.
Oh, and since you've already thrown out a no true scotsman, let me add this: you don't get to decide what people believe. Your opinions on the religious practices of others and whether that makes them real catholics or not means approximately jack shit. Your lack of an imprimatur doesn't somehow suck all the religion out of a person.
