Suicide in British and Welch prisons occurs roughly 33 times more often than in the general population, according to report issued by the "Forum For Preventing Deaths In Custody." Studying deaths in state custody, the report notes that of the roughly 600 prisoners who die in prison each year, about one-third of the deaths come from self-inflicted wounds. The report urges treatment instead of prison for people with mental illness.
