Suicide after reception into prison: A case-control study examining differences in early and late events.

<h4>Objective</h4>Prisoners constitute a high-risk group for suicide, with suicide rates about 5 to 8 times higher than in the general population. The first weeks of imprisonment are a particularly vulnerable time, but there is limited knowledge about the risk factors for either early or...
