“…Interestingly, SUDs were also the only diagnostic difference in the current report between the violent and nonviolent group, further underlining the importance of treatment if it is related to reoffending risk and other adverse outcomes, such as self-harm and suicide in custody. Of note, there is evidence that substance abuse is related to severe self-harm (Rivlin, Hawton, Marzano, & Fazel, 2010) and suicide for adults in custody (Fruehwald, Matschnig, Koenig, Bauer, & Frottier, 2004). Another disorder in the current community sample with lower estimates than those reported in Western countries was for conduct disorder.…”

We investigated the mental health of 232 consecutive receptions of juvenile boys aged 15-17 years in youth detention centers of two Chinese provinces and compared with juveniles in community settings. Interviews were conducted by psychiatrists using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children to diagnose DSM-IV psychiatric disorders. Of the 232 boys in detention, 188 (81.0%) met criteria for any psychiatric disorder, with 186 (80.2%) having a disruptive behavior disorder and 52 (22.4%) having a substance use disorder (SUD). High levels of comorbidity were observed with 38.8% being diagnosed with at least two disorders. The high absolute and relative risks of psychiatric disorders and SUDs suggest that the identification and treatment of such disorders in juvenile detention is a priority for service development.

“…[17] and Rivlin et al . [18] No female prisoners had a moderate or high suicide risk. This low risk of suicide may be due to multiple factors including the feeling of having a family support, better prison conditions than earlier days and a hope of an early release.…”

Background:There is a considerable lack of scientific estimate of psychiatric morbidity among Indian prisoners.Objective:The objective of the following study is to study the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity among prisoners.Settings and Design:A cross-sectional study at District Jail, Kozhikode, Kerala.Materials and Methods:A total of 255 prisoners who were inmates during the period from mid-April to mid-July 2011 participated in the study. The study subjects included both male and female remand or convict prisoners. Socio-demographic data, clinical history and criminological history were collected from each individual. Psychiatric morbidity was assessed using MINI-Plus.Statistical Analysis:Done by using SPSS version 16 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA).Results:A total of 175 subjects (68.6%) had a current mental illness. Substance use disorder was the most common diagnosis (47.1%). Antisocial personality disorder was diagnosed in 19.2%, adjustment disorder in 13.7%, mood disorder in 4.3% and psychosis in another 6.3% of prisoners. A high rate of a current psychiatric disorder was seen in male (69.7%) prisoners. A significant association was noticed for the different nature of crimes with psychiatric diagnoses and previous imprisonment. Nearly 4% of prisoners reported a moderate to high suicide risk.Conclusion:Mental health problems among prisoners were quite high. Mentally ill prisoners are at high risk for repeated incarceration. The increased rate of psychiatric disorders should be a concern for mental health professionals and the policy makers.

“…Furthermore, the MINI Plus is typically used as a one-time assessment, which may not be sufficient to account for the rapid fluctuation of both mental health symptoms and neurobiological effects caused by substances. Complications during the assessment of mental illness and concurrent disorders using the MINI Plus in marginalized populations have been discussed in previous research, 45,60,61 and further discussion with regard to homeless individuals specifically is desirable and necessary. Despite these methodological challenges, prevalence rates for mental disorders in our population were multiple times higher than in the general female population, although they may only reflect an approximation of the true rates.…”

Prevalence rates of mental disorders among homeless participants were substantially higher than among women from the general Canadian population. The percentage of participants with moderate or high suicide risk and concurrent disorders indicates a high severity of mental health symptomatology. Treatment and housing programs need to be accompanied by multidisciplinary, specialized interventions that account for high rates of complex mental health conditions.

Psychiatric disorders in male prisoners who made near-lethal suicide attempts: case–control study

Abstract: In male prisoners, psychiatric disorders, especially depression, psychosis, anxiety and drug misuse, are associated with near-lethal suicide attempts, and hence probably with suicide.
