National study of Jail suicide, 20 years later (2010) U.S. Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections
This report represents the third collaboration between the National Institute of Corrections and the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives (NCIA) regarding national studies of jail suicide. During the 1980s, two NCIA studies found high rates of suicide in county jails throughout the country. Although suicide continues to be a leading cause of death in jails, the rate of suicide continues to decrease, as demonstrated in this report, National Study of Jail Suicide: 20 Years Later. Yet this report does more than simply present a calculation of suicide rates. It presents the most comprehensive updated information on the extent and distribution of inmate suicides through out the country, including data on the changing face of suicide victims. Most important, the study challenges both jail and health-care officials and their respective staffs to remain diligent in identifying and managing suicidal inmates. The National Institute of Corrections hopes that this report will encourage continued research, training, and development and revision of comprehensive prevention programs that are critical to the continued reduction of jail suicide throughout the country.
