    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Infectious Disease

    Context:

    • High mortality rates in correctional facilities are a global concern.
    • This study focuses on Mbuji-Mayi Central Prison in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
    • Data was collected from January 2014 to December 2016.

    Purpose:

    • To identify factors associated with survival among inmates.
    • To determine the mortality rate within the prison population.
    • To analyze risk factors contributing to inmate deaths.

    Summary:

    • A retrospective cohort study of 793 inmates was conducted.
    • The mortality rate was 17.9 per 1,000 person-months.
    • Malnutrition (HR=17.5) and tuberculosis (HR=11.8) were significantly associated with increased risk of death.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the urgent need for improved health interventions in prisons.
    • Identifies malnutrition and tuberculosis as key targets for prevention and treatment.
    • Informs prison and health authorities on critical areas for intervention to reduce inmate mortality.
