IO9's Annalee Newitz has a disturbing report: "Epidemiologists reveal that black men in America have a better survival rate in prison than outside". Wow! Consider that for a moment.Being in prison could save your life - depending on your racial background. A group of epidemiologists studying patterns of death among prisoners have discovered that black men in prison die at much lower rates than black men outside.
Go figure. What a great society.

On the other hand, there is a very special inmate, Lord Beaver of Crap Harbour
may have something to do with medical attention and lack of driving. Oh, and if you're on the range and drunk out of your skull, there are no stairs to fall down and no cops to beat you to death.
