Worthless Brown University " research " on ex-prisoner suicides

Researcher aims to reduce suicides of ex-prisoners  This Brown University researcher reminds me of those phony scholars who make money on numerous " studies " on the homeless-without ever making the slightest difference in their lives. " Half will receive the USUAL CARE in and out of prison ". Why not suggest -without the need of well funded research- that prisoners-mostly poor and depressed when they enter prison -not be ABUSED in numerous ways while they are " serving time " ? How do you make a suicidal ex-con " happy " enough not to kill himself ? Will the scholar restore his faith in Sweet Jesus or the Amazing Power of Positive Thinking ? Get him interested in Scientology ? Point out to the depressed ex-convict that there is no contradiction between the everyday insanity of capitalism and " The Conquest of Happiness " ?
One more worthless scholarly paper on potential suicides will make no more difference in these lives than yet another scholarly paper on the mentally ill homeless.
Invariably the petty bourgeois Brown University scholar has no quarrel with THE SYSTEM -in which he or she is quite comfortable, thank you.
Nice to know : " Nationally about 10 percent of all suicides involve people who served jail time ".
To be sure, Socialism would abolish " jail time " for most of the poor ,oppressed, exploited , ABUSED victims of capitalist JUSTICE.
Lauren Weinstock of Brown University belongs to a corrupt profession. What does she think about advising the CIA on the best way to torture prisoners ? To be sure, tortured Islamic prisoners might very well kill themselves - and take a number of "infidels " down with them.
