Morbid thought: I'm surprised there isn't a cottage industry around buying life insurance policies on prison inmates. I bet you could use statistical methods and/or machine learning to profitably predict inmates most likely to die early, given the prison location, staff, the inmate's crime, and other factors.
Not only morbid but I'd argue morally wrong as well, as this would be betting on peoples lives. It's just as awful as the coliseum just without you being exposed to the blood.
