“…The most common disorders found in prison populations of women are substance dependency disorders, with rates of around 30% reported in studies of both convicted (Daniel et al, 1988;Gunn et al, 1991;Maden et al, 1994;Jordan et al, 1996) and remand samples (Andersen et al, 1996;Wormith and McKeague, 1996). Robertson et al (1987), in a Canadian study of a female remand population, reported lower rates for drug dependency/abuse (6%), but rates of alcohol abuse of 34%.…”

“…The total frequency of dependence syndromes was very high, with nearly every second prisoner on remand being dependent of some kind of substance immediately before imprisonment (1). Opioids -that is, in reality heroin-was the by far the most frequently used substance, with every third prisoner being dependent on opioids, and every second prisoner having tried illegal opioids and thereby having lifetime harmful use of opioids.…”

“…The sampling procedure and material has been described in detail by Andersen et al (1). In summary, the study population consisted of 228 Danish-born prisoners on remand (133 (inclusion rate, 96%) in solitary confinement (SC) and 95 (inclusion rate, 85%) non-SC), of both sexes, and age between 18 and 60 years.…”

R. Heroin dependence: Consequences and precursors related to route of administration. Nord J Psychiatry 1999;53:153-158. Oslo. ISSN 0803-9488. Two random samples of Danish prisoners on remand (solitary confinement (SC) and non-SC)) were examined using semistructured and standardized psychiatric and social interviews, cognitive tests, and questionnaires. Heroin dependence was divided into injection heroin dependence (IHD) and smoke heroin dependence (SHD). Comparisons corrected for confounders were made with regard to IHD versus SHD and dependent versus non-dependent subjects. Thirty-two per cent of the sample had lifetime heroin dependence, and the IHD versus SHD ratio was 3:1. The IHD subjects were more severely strained than SHD with regard to somatic complications (blood-transferred infections), early social strain, psychiatric comorbidity (mood disorders), personality dimensions (introversion), and cognitive performance (low performance scale score). The IHD subjects were considered more vulnerable than SHD subjects, both premorbid and during the dependence. SHD subjects may be recruited from other groups than the traditional (that is, IHD) heroin-dependent ones. The social strain immediately before imprisonment was, however, on the same very high level in both groups of heroin dependence.

ZusammenfassungZiel und Methode: Die Studie hatte die standardisierte beschreibung der Versorgungskonzepte für Straf-und Untersuchungsgefangene mit psychischen Störungen in 24 europäischen ländern zum Ziel. Mit dem methodischen Vorgehen der expertenbefragung wurden per Fragebogen administrative Daten erhoben und damit gleichzeitig die berichterstattungsstrukturen in den einbezogenen ländern untersucht. Ergebnisse: in den untersuchten ländern herrschen gemischte Versorgungskonzepte für psychisch kranke gefängnisinsassen vor, die entweder durch medizinische gefängnisdienste und allgemeinpsychiatrische oder forensische einrichtungen behandelt werden. Die Versorgung wird jedoch in beiden Varianten als defizitär eingeschätzt. es fehlt in allen Phasen des Strafvollzugs an geeigneten Diagnose-und Screeningverfahren, wodurch Prävalenzra-ten und Diagnosespektren hinsichtlich psychischer Störun-gen bei gefängnisinsassen europaweit unbekannt bleiben. gegenwärtig steht nur eine sehr begrenzte Zahl indirekter indikatoren zur Verfügung, mit denen nur ganz unzuläng-lich auf das Problemaufkommen rückgeschlossen werden kann. Schlussfolgerungen: Die offizielle Datenlage ist dem Problem nicht angemessen. Die fundamentale Verbesserung der Datenlage ist unabdingbar als erster Schritt hinsichtlich der Verbesserung der Versorgung psychischer Störun-gen im europäischen Strafvollzug.Schlüsselwörter Psychiatrische Versorgung · Strafvollzug · Forensik · psychiatrische Prävalenz Mental health care in European penitentiaries AbstractObjective and methods: We analysed administrative national data regarding mental health care and psychiatric prevalence in the penitentiary systems of 24 european countries. Data was provided by national experts via questionnaire.
