Variability of preventive actions against various types of penitentiary suicides
Abstract
The rates of suicide among persons detained in penitentiary establishments remain higher than persons of a similar age and the same sex who stay free. Conducting effective preventive interventions becomes, therefore, one of the critical challenges when it comes to limiting this type of behaviour. In connection with the above, the aim of the undertaken research was to 1) identify suicide attack patterns among people in penitentiary isolation and 2) indicate effective preventive strategies concerning them. The study used the method of diagnostic survey and desk research. Four types of suicides were identified in the analysis and assigned to them as evidence-based prevention strategies.
