Book on Suicide in Jail and Prisons by Dr. A.E. Daniel

Secure the authoritative text on prison suicide prevention and liability. This forensic guide provides attorneys and correctional professionals with critical insights into suicide risk assessment, prevention protocols, and legal standards.

Suicide continues to be the leading cause of deaths in US jails, state, and federal prisons according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics. The suicide rates have remained staggeringly high, with a disproportionate number of inmates having psychiatric disorders. Although current methods and practices have been helpful to a certain degree, they remain grossly inadequate continuing to pose a serious challenge as suicides remain steadily on the rise.

Dr. Daniel is a top-notch, highly sought-after forensic psychiatrist for over forty years of experience with a significant amount of his work focused on prison populations.

Moreover, comprehensive mental health programs must be established for highly anxious depressed inmates to lessen the opportunity for self -harm. Training correctional officers and mental health and medical staff to deal with suicidal inmates is extremely crucial.

Dr. Daniel’s knowledge and expertise inspired him to write his book Suicide in Jails and Prisons- Preventive and Legal Perspective A Guide For Correctional officers, Mental health staff, Experts and Attorneys.

“As a jail practices expert I am often retained to evaluate cases of attempted and completed jail suicide… I found that the book is well researched and written in such a manner that it is easy to understand. There is no question that the information in this book will save lives.”
