Researchers with the University of Arkansas have found a link between your physical fitness and the likelihood that you will commit a crime and go to jail.
More specifically, when the researchers looked at the physical characteristics of about 5,000 Arkansas inmates, they found that most were athletically fit when they entered prison.
The researchers classified most of these inmates as mesomorphs.
As reported by the New York Times, this research study, which appears in the Social Science Journal, found that mesomorphs make up an unusually large percentage of the prison population, from 62 percent to 73 percent.
While the researchers claim that their findings suggest a link between a prisoner’s somatotype and their criminal patterns, they admit that body type or fitness level is a meager predictor of criminality.
Conclusion
If you are about to be sent “up the river”, It is MUCH better to be built like the guy pictured above than the two guys below.
It probably also doesn’t help that these guys are both naked and seem to have suffered some sort of horrible industrial or farming accident.
