Analysis of 1987 data from the US Department of Justice for prisoners under the jurisdiction of state and federal correctional authorities indicated that suicide rates were not negatively correlated with accidental or unspecified death rates. These findings do not provide evidence of disguised suicides among prisoners. Possible explanations for high rates of unspecified death among prisoners are presented.
对美国司法部1987年有关州和联邦惩教当局管辖下囚犯的数据进行分析表明，自杀率与意外死亡率或不明原因死亡率不存在负相关关系。这些研究结果并未提供囚犯中存在伪装自杀的证据。文中还提出了囚犯不明原因死亡率高的可能解释。
