According to the Prison Reform Trust, 72 per cent of male and 70 per
cent of female sentenced prisoners suffer from two or more mental health
disorders while 20 per cent of prisoners have four of the five major mental
health disorders.

and special populations of prisoners with particular health needs, including
juveniles and prisoners from low and middle income countries.
He will compare suicide risk in prisoners in England and Wales with
other European countries and look at the risk factors for suicide and self-harm
