To characterize injuries occurring in jails, we analyzed injury report forms from the New York City jail system. We abstracted data from 4695 injury report forms representing 3863 patients. Of the injuries reported, 66% were classified as intentional. The 2 leading causes of injuries were inmate-on-inmate aggression (40%) and slips and falls (27%). Injuries place a considerable burden on jail health care systems, and there is a need for more studies on this problem and development of injury prevention programs.
为了描述监狱中发生的伤害情况,我们分析了纽约市监狱系统的伤害报告表。我们从代表 3863 名患者的 4695 份伤害报告表中提取数据。报告的伤害中,66%被归类为故意伤害。伤害的 2 个主要原因是囚犯之间的攻击(40%)和滑倒和跌倒(27%)。伤害给监狱医疗保健系统带来了相当大的负担,因此需要更多研究这个问题并制定伤害预防计划。
