Scientific Study: Black Men are better off in Jail.

White male prisoners had higher death rates than white males who were not in prison. Black male prisoners, however, consistently exhibited lower death rates than black male nonprisoners did. Additionally, the findings indicate that while the relative difference in mortality levels of white and black males was quite high outside of prison, it essentially disappeared in prison. Notably, removing deaths caused by firearms and motor vehicles in the nonprison population accounted for some of the mortality differential between black prisoners and nonprisoners. The death rates of the other groups analyzed suggest that prison is an unhealthy environment; yet, prison appears to be a healthier place than the typical environment of the nonincarcerated black male population. These findings suggest that firearms and motor vehicle accidents do not sufficiently explain the higher death rates of black males, and they indicate that a lack of basic healthcare may be implicated in the death rates of black males not incarcerated.
Why might this be? There are a lot of possibilities — one of which is that whites are such a minority in American prisons that they are statistical outliers.
Looks like some libtard editor at io9 (gawker media) was asleep at the wheel to let that sentence slip into the article.

Only a matter of time before Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton start making demands to jail more black men for their own good :{D

Bars on the window so that you sleep safely, three squares a day, free medical care, nice guards to tell you what to do, all the down-low action you could want. A veritable paradise it seems :swoon:
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Isnt that an argument for improving conditions outside prison?
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

We obviously need to lower taxes then! :drip:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.
