"Civil Rights" Leaders Hate Black People

They must. Otherwise, why would they fight so hard to keep black criminals out of prison and out on the streets, when they live longer, healthier lives in prison?

State prison inmates, particularly blacks, are living longer on average than people on the outside, the government said Sunday.

Inmates in state prisons are dying at an average yearly rate of 250 per 100,000, according to the latest figures reported to the Justice Department by state prison officials. By comparison, the overall population of people between age 15 and 64 is dying at a rate of 308 a year.

For black inmates, the rate was 57 percent lower than among the overall black population — 206 versus 484. But white and Hispanic prisoners both had death rates slightly above their counterparts in the overall population.

The Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics said 12,129 state prisoners died between 2001 through 2004.

Eight percent were murdered or killed themselves, 2 percent died of alcohol, drugs or accidental injuries, and 1 percent of the deaths could not be explained, the report said.

The rest of the deaths 89 percent were due to medical reasons. Of those, two-thirds of inmates had the medical problem they died of before they were admitted to prison.

It's all the exercise -- the weightlifting, the baseball, the vigorous Greco-Roman showering, etc.
