Suicide risk in correctional facilities is highest immediately after admission and two months later for remand prisoners. For sentenced prisoners, risk increases with sentence length and time in custody.

Area of Science:

  • Criminology
  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Previous research on suicide in correctional facilities presents conflicting findings regarding the relationship between suicide risk and custody duration.
  • Studies have explored suicide among individuals in jail, prison remand, and among sentenced prisoners.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate suicide patterns in Austrian jails and prisons over a 22-year period.
  • To analyze suicide risk in relation to time served in custody.
  • To inform the development of targeted suicide prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive study of all suicides (n=206) in 29 Austrian correctional facilities from 1975 to 1996.
  • Utilized survival analysis to calculate hazard rates reflecting time-dependent suicide risk.

Main Results:

  • Identified three distinct periods of elevated suicide risk.
  • For prisoners on remand, high-risk periods are immediately post-admission and at two months.
  • For long-term sentenced prisoners, suicide risk correlates with sentence length and increases with time in custody.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding these specific high-risk periods is crucial for effective suicide prevention.
  • Tailored interventions can enhance the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of suicide prevention programs in correctional settings.
