Abstract
People with imprisonment history are at elevated risk of suicide, yet it is unclear how widely this has been studied within the suicide literature. This systematic review reveals that only 1.2% of empirical studies reported imprisonment history of the sample, and only 1.2% examined imprisonment as a risk factor.
