npub1k4qmle0sq0u0fwfz8l7zr85j3ag07z0v3lzj7xrkz5v6sfxdd00ss73lsq (npub1k4q…3lsq) It doesn't sound like they're using comparable numbers, since the prison mortality figures are not counting any non-violent deaths in custody, from illness or accidental injury. And that is what you're talking about for most of the residential school deaths. And of course, mortality rates from all sorts of causes, in all sorts of settings have come down over the decades.

The lack of care taken with children at residential schools is bad enough, don't need to pull out arbitrary comparisons.
