Little research has examined the link between incarceration and suicide among transgender individuals. Transgender inmates face unique circumstances within the correctional setting that expose them to potentially harmful conditions, including correctional policies that limit access to proper medical care and expose them to threats of harassment and violence. Using data from the 2011 National Transgender Discrimination Survey, this article examines the link between incarceration and suicide among transgender individuals by focusing on the link between correctional policies and attempted suicide among transgender individuals who have been incarcerated. Multivariate results suggest that correctional policies regarding health care and housing may deleteriously impact transgender inmates.
很少有研究探讨过跨性别者被监禁与自杀之间的联系。跨性别囚犯在惩教环境中面临着独特的情况，使他们暴露于潜在的有害条件下，包括限制获得适当医疗护理的惩教政策，以及使他们面临骚扰和暴力威胁。本文利用2011年全国跨性别歧视调查的数据，通过关注惩教政策与曾被监禁的跨性别者自杀未遂之间的联系，来研究跨性别者被监禁与自杀之间的联系。多变量结果表明，有关医疗保健和住房的惩教政策可能会对跨性别囚犯产生有害影响。
