Prison, And Its Effects On Mental Health
The environment of prison can have an impact on mental health.
Being in prison is, by intention, a challenging experience. The environment, rules and regulations, and lack of personal control can all impact prisoners’ mental health. Older prisoners, those with physical or learning disabilities, and other vulnerable groups are especially at risk of experiencing poor mental health whilst in prison.

Presently, there is a dilemma of unmet mental health needs in the prison system. The Institute of Psychiatry estimated that:
- Over half of inmates have poor mental health, including depression, PTSD, and anxiety
- Around 2% are thought to have serious mental health prob
- Around 15% of inmates have special mental health needs
Over half of prisoners have poor mental health, including depression, PTSD, and anxiety.
