Prisoner suicide

Prisoner suicide is suicide by a person incarcerated in a jail or prison.

Suicide is and continues to be a leading cause of death in jails and in prisons worldwide,[1] and suicide rates are typically more than 10 times higher in the female incarcerated population and twice as high in the male incarcerated population relative to the age-standardised general population in a given country.[1]
