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.
