Abstract:

This thesis represents a sociological exploration of Her Majesty’s Prison Service, male prisoners’ mental health, and the provision of National Health Service mental healthcare in a prison setting. This qualitative social science study is conducted in one prison establishment. The work is characterised as a policy and practice orientated exploratory case study. The study implements an inductive approach to the datum–theory relationship, a constructionist ontological position, and an interpretivist epistemological orientation. Semi-structured interviews are conducted in a male category B prison

Abstract:

Recent cross-sectional studies have confirmed that the prevalence of mental disorder in English prisons is high but they provide little insight into the fate of the mentally disordered in prison. This thesis concentrates on a longitudinal study of mental disorder in 569 unconvicted adult male remand prisoners received into Durham prison between 1 October 1995 and 30 April 1996. Subjects were interviewed at reception by psychiatric researchers and monitored throughout the remand period. The data collected was used to establish the prevalence of mental disorder and substance misuse at reception

Background: Research predominantly from high income countries suggests that depression and anxiety are highly prevalent among prison inmates.

Background: The mental health of prisoners is of growing global health importance as prison populations increase exponentially. Though additional risks of mental disorder and poor mental wellbeing of prisoners are now better understood, women, especially those in low and middle income countries, and in regions outside North America and Europe are underrepresented in prison mental health studies. There is strong evidence of associations between religion and spirituality (RS) and mental health in the general population in North America and Europe.

Abstract:

Mental health screening is frequently recommended to facilitate earlier detection of mental illness in prisons. For this goal to be achieved: (1) the screening process must be accurate; (2) appropriate follow-up treatment must be provided; (3) the treatment must lead to improved outcomes. The current thesis aimed to evaluate mental health screening in relation to these three criteria by studying 13, 281 prisoners admitted to Correctional Service of Canada. Screening achieved comparable accuracy to tools that have been studied internationally and many inmates received at least some treatment. H

The criminal justice system in the United States was not created to treat mentally ill people. Despite this fact, the number of seriously mentally ill people in prisons and jails now exceeds the number in state psychiatric hospitals by tenfold. At the same time, the epidemic of mass incarceration in the United States has become one of the most pressing economic and social problems our country has faced in the last three decades. One novel approach to reducing prison populations and lowering costs to taxpayers has been justice reinvestment. However, for justice reinvestment to meet its ult

Abstract:

The move toward reducing the prison population was driven by an increase in the number of reentry programs that focused on the needs of the offender, such as the provision of stable housing, employment, education, and sustaining strong familial bonds. While the literature supported these areas as being effective in reducing recidivism, there was no consensus that they were effective for offenders with mental illness (OMI). The purpose of this qualitative study was to analyze the impact of prerelease services for the OMI population from the perspective of former correctional mental health profe

Researchers have suggested that jails and prisons in the United States are becoming the new mental health clinics, contributing to the phenomenon of mass incarceration and costing upwards of $15 billion per year in public revenue.

Additionally, the continuing incarceration of people with mental health problems by the hundreds of thousands poses a difficult ethical dilemma regarding why this population does not

During the past 60 years, United States prisons have become one of the primary institutions caring for mentally ill individuals.

In fact, about 20% of people who are currently incarcerated suffer from a major mental illness (Mason, 2007).

Introdução: A relação mãe e bebê, movida por cuidados repetitivos providos de afeto, deve ser disponibilizada ao bebê para sua constituição como sujeito psíquico e social. Para a parceria se efetivar, a díade necessita de um ambiente favorável representado por uma rede de cuidados potente e sustentadora. A maternidade, em contexto prisional, assume especial complexidade pela inserção e efeitos do aprisionamento. Tal efeito se estende aos profissionais que atuam em meio a essas repercussões que moldam suas atitudes no dispositivo prisional. Objetivo: Identificar atitudes e intervenções de profi

Abstract:

This thesis explores the interconnections between masculinity, health and prison. It contests reductionist, individualist and biomedical approaches to health care management in prisons and challenges gender-blindness within criminology and social science where masculinities have been overlooked as key factors of prison culture and organisation. The research set out to explore how masculinities manifest at institutional, social and cultural levels in prison as key determinants of health. The study was conducted in an enhanced wing of an adult male training prison in Southern England. A reflexiv

Abstract:

Research consistently demonstrates that prison inmates are more likely than the general population to suffer from both mental disorders and substance abuse. The current study explored the relationship between diagnoses of mental disorders and maladaptive substance use among state and federal prison inmates. Linear regression analysis was used to ascertain the prevalence of comorbidity of substance abuse and mental disorder, and multiple models were constructed to determine the direction of relationship between the two disorders. Overall, mental disorders and substance use were positively relat

Abstract:

This quantitative and qualitative study investigates the type and quality of health care and conditions of imprisonment that prevailed in some South African prisons in the late 1980s. It was inspired by political activists who were incarcerated, yet despite, or because of, the harsh conditions in prison persisted with their struggle for human rights. Appeals for the improvement of prison conditions which they submitted to the authorities are unique primary source documents. By implication, this survey adds value to their cause, for several issues examined in it had already been raised while th
