I don't want to sound terribly morbid or unfeeling or un-PC, hmmm, retract 
the last one <g> but seems to me that China kills off about as many as they 
put in prison and so does Russia and those they don't die of various and 
sundry things in prison.  So, part of the reason that we have more in prison 
is because we don't kill off as many folks right off the top AND we take 
better care of the folks in prison.  Sheesh, they get universal health care 
and 3 squares which is more than one can say for a large % of the general 
population.
