Black men less likely to die in prison, opposed to outside

[sandmangeck]

Black men are half as likely to die in prison than they are in the outside world, says new study | Mail Online

Interesting study.

[Downunderwonder]

Doesn't say much for the "outside world" then.

Does the study show that the person's up bringing - not environment - has a lot to do with how a person ends up later in life?

Without getting political, religious, racist, or anything else that is frowned upon...

The solution to these problems is to stop doing these studies.

Just the opposite. You have to know WHAT to deal with before you can deal with it. Environmental surroundings do matter.

In prison you're also more likely to have health concerns taken care of instead of choosing between eating and getting your blood pressure meds.

Not true. Only smart azz people and the weakest need worry.

This is true. And unfortunately, prison is a safer environment than many inner city streets.

By people saying "studies show blah blah blah" it subconsciously tells the people that no matter what they do, the odds are stacked against them. Stop doing the studies and people do not have anything but themselves to blame.

Today the person's up bringing tells them that they are a victim of the environment.

The environment that a person lives in is the direct cause of their up bringing.

would you like to elaborate on what you mean by this comment?

[lowfreq33]

I'm pretty sure that all men have a 100% chance of dying regardless of environment.

No. You could of been brought up in Beverly Hills and die in Iraq.

They go hand in hand, but living in a violent environment DOES add to the person you are. Many use it to escape and become productive people in life, but many don't and perish in that very same environment.

Or it shames society enough into actually addressing a long standing problem.

Clearly we need to make prisons much deadlier.

agree.

But some of us feel no shame.

It's easy to say that people should "pull themselves up by their boot straps" when the people saying it live in a nice house with a white picket fence and their kids are educated in a school district where the tax base is above average.

So yes it's environment and upbringing.
