Area of Science:

  • Forensic Psychiatry
  • Public Health
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Limited scientific data exists on psychiatric morbidity in Indian prisons.
  • Prison populations often exhibit higher rates of mental health issues compared to the general population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity among prisoners.
  • To identify common psychiatric diagnoses and risk factors within this population.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted at District Jail, Kozhikode, Kerala.
  • 255 male and female prisoners were assessed using the MINI-Plus for psychiatric morbidity.
  • Data collected included socio-demographic, clinical, and criminological histories.

Main Results:

  • A high prevalence of current mental illness was found in 68.6% of prisoners.
  • Substance use disorder (47.1%) was the most frequent diagnosis, followed by antisocial personality disorder (19.2%).
  • A significant association was observed between crime type, prior imprisonment, and psychiatric diagnoses; 4% reported moderate to high suicide risk.

Conclusions:

  • Prisoners exhibit a high burden of mental health problems, necessitating targeted interventions.
  • Mentally ill prisoners face an increased risk of recidivism, impacting public safety and correctional resource allocation.
  • Findings underscore the urgent need for improved mental health services and policy considerations for incarcerated individuals.
