Abstract

UNLABELLED

Mental health and substance misuse disorders are associated with unnatural deaths in prisoners. Deaths in Irish prisons between 2009 and 2014 were retrospectively analysed using coroner's findings, including post-mortem toxicology. There were 69 deaths in custody, 38 of which met inclusion criteria. All deaths by overdose (16) were positive for illicit drugs; 53% of deaths (8 of 15) due to hanging were also positive for illicit drugs, and 29% of deaths (2 of 7) from other causes were toxicology positive. In conclusion, 26 unnatural deaths (68%) were associated with use of illicit drugs, which are a major contributory factor to deaths of prisoners.

心理健康和药物滥用障碍与囚犯的非自然死亡有关。利用验尸官的调查结果，包括尸检毒理学，对2009年至2014年爱尔兰监狱中的死亡情况进行了回顾性分析。共有69人在押期间死亡，其中38人符合纳入标准。所有过量用药死亡（16例）的非法药物检测均呈阳性；上吊死亡的53%（15例中的8例）非法药物检测也呈阳性，其他原因导致死亡的29%（7例中的2例）毒理学检测呈阳性。总之，26例非自然死亡（68%）与非法药物使用有关，非法药物是囚犯死亡的主要促成因素。
