Speakers: Chinonso Lazz-Onyenobi and Angelika Gutmann National statistics show that suicide and self-harm are more prevalent amongst the prison population than in the community. We will be highlighting the risk factors associated with this and exploring whether there are any typologies that may differentiate those who take or attempt to take their lives in prison compared to those who do this in the community. We will be identifying the theoretical frameworks available associated with suicide and self-harm and how these are/can be applied within a prison setting.
