It's bad that it's up for sure. I agree.

But it's important to see that number in some kind of context to appreciate how bad it is. If a comparison is made, you want to know if you are actually comparing like things and when two groups that might not actually be similar are compared, it makes you wonder if that matters.

(Since some old people have some of the highest suicide rates, it's possible that the whole general population's rate is actually lower than one more comparable to the group who is serving right now and the problem could be a whole lost worse than the comparison suggests.)
