Methodological problems beset this research topic, though. First, the high prevalence of mental health problems and need for mental health services by prisoner suicides seems to match that found amongst the general prisoner population, thus undermining the role of mental health problems as a specific risk factor for prison suicide. And second, studies conducted to examine this risk factor have varied considerably in their operationalisation of the term ‘mental illness’ and how it can be measured, often using ‘history of psychiatric contact’ in the absence of current psychiatric diagnoses.

Even after controlling for the time of reception, cases with alcohol-related offences were significantly more likely to complete suicide within the first 24 hours than were other cases (adj. 05). 3 hours). In summary, it is well known that substance misuse is common in prisoner populations, making it difficult for such a factor to be used as a reliable indicator for suicide risk. Nevertheless, the proportion of prison suicides with a history or diagnosis of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence (30–70%) generally seems to be higher when compared with nonsuicidal control groups or the prison populations from which the suicide samples were originally drawn.
