Ayhan, Gulen, et al. "Suicide Risk among Prisoners in French Guiana: Prevalence and Predictive Factors." BMC Psychiatry, Vol 17, No. 1, 2017 DOI 10.1186/s12888-017-1320-4
Ayhan argues that prisoners are at risk and have ties to suicidal thoughts and actions. There was a study conducted which questioned prisoners in France about their mental health. They conducted an exam called the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) which lead to results showing that those in prison do in fact have a direct relationship with mental health issues and suicide risk. It was found that "14.3% of the inmates suffered from depression," and there were many other factors and disorders that resulted in finding a large portion of the inmates to have various risks of suicide (14% high risk, 15% moderate risk, and 42% low risk). The author's point of view is that with more testing and diagnostics (such as the MINI), the suicide risk among prisoners could be significantly decreased.
