| Summary: | Suicide in prison represents one of the leading causes of death among inmates, with a rate two to nine times higher than in the general population. This is a multidimensional problem that requires systematically established preventive responses and dedication to preventive activities at different levels. Since many risk factors of socio-demographic, psychosocial, institutional, psychiatric, and criminological nature can precede the act of committing suicide, this phenomenon can be understood through an integrative approach through, existing theoretical models covering three domains: the penological domain, through the “Deprivation Model”, “Importation Model”, and Combined Model; the sociological domain, through the application of Durkheim’s model of suicidality to the prison context; and the psychological domain, through Interpersonal Theory, Theory of Stress, and Theory of Reactive Aggressiveness. The aim of this paper is to review the scope of the problem of suicide among inmates by linking risk factors to different theoretical models that explain the etiology of suicide in prison. The paper uses analysis and synthesis of theoretical and empirical findings through the study of relevant literature from different scientific data sources |
