Violent offenders were the [victims] of most State prison homicides (61%), and their jail homicide rate (5 per 100,000) was over twice that of nonviolent offenders (2 per 100,000).

== Interesting to note that Prision murder rates are higher than many states in the US, and many countries in europe. None of this is guns, though. It seems in the abscence of weapon x a killer will use y or z. lots of people killed this way with pens and spoons etc.



I would assume gang affiliation a major factor in that.
