Suicide is considered to be the leading cause of preventable death in prisons. The increasingly expansive literature examining, in ever closer detail, the various risk factors associated with a likelihood of eventual prison suicide has failed to lead to successful prevention programmes. An alternative approach is needed that seeks to understand, at the individual level, what leads a prisoner to contemplate ending their own life as the only solution to their problematic and distressing situation. This book describes how the authors developed such a conceptualisation of the vulnerable prisoner, which then informed the development and delivery of evidence-based psychological interventions for suicide prevention in prison.
