“…Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to intentional and direct injury to one's own body tissue in a socially unacceptable way without the intention of suicide (Nock, 2009). This high-risk behavior occurs frequently in prison institutions; the previous 12-month prevalence of NSSI in prison has been estimated to be 14% in men and 12% in women (Rong et al, 2022), which greatly exceeds less than 1% of adults in the general population who engaged in self-injury each year (Klonsky, 2011). NSSI has negative consequences for prisoners while incarcerated.…”

ObjectivesNonsuicidal self‐injury (NSSI) occurs more frequently in the prisoner population than in the general population. Monitoring and management of this behavior is challenging because NSSI may present in diverse ways. People often use more than one method of NSSI, and there are many possible combinations of these behaviors. We used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify subgroups of male inmates based on methods and frequency of NSSI.MethodsA total of 1042 male prisoners in China (Mage = 38.45, SD = 10.67) completed measures of hopelessness, sensation seeking, identity integration, and suicidal ideation, and NSSI was assessed in a structured interview.ResultsResults of the LCA supported a three‐class model: high‐NSSI (1.8%), moderate‐NSSI (8.0%), and no‐or‐negligible NSSI (90.2%). Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that prisoners in the high‐NSSI and moderate‐NSSI classes were significantly more likely than those in the no‐or‐negligible NSSI class to show high hopelessness, high sensation seeking, and low identity. Furthermore, suicidal ideation was significantly higher in the high‐NSSI and moderate‐NSSI classes than in the no‐or‐negligible NSSI class.ConclusionsClassifying groups of prisoners based on features of NSSI is potentially useful for understanding risk factors and for developing tailored prevention and treatment strategies.

IntroductionThe prevalence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among prisoners is widely recognized. However, most research conducted in prisons setting has focused on lifetime engagement in NSSI, with limited knowledge about its correlates and risk factors during imprisonment.MethodsDrawing on the integrated theoretical model of NSSI, this study aimed to examine the combined effects of childhood maltreatment (an environmental factor) and two intrapersonal factors, namely self-identity and sensation-seeking, on NSSI. 1042 Chinese male offenders participated in the current study, and regression analyses is used to examine the relationship among variables.ResultsThe results revealed that self-identity mediated the association between childhood maltreatment and prisoners’ NSSI. Sensation-seeking moderated the relationship between self-identity and NSSI, and this connection was only significant for offenders with high sensation-seeking.DiscussionWe discuss the results of the current research and possible practical implications.
