Location, location, location . . .

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.
