The Effect Of Family And Social Support On Suicidal Ideation In Jails, Megan L. Small
Honors Undergraduate Theses
Suicidal ideation and associated behaviors are up to four times more common among jail inmates than the general community (Jenkins et al., 2005; Hayes, 1986).

The Rhetoric Of Inmates: Identification Processes In The San Quentin News, Alexandra Stepanov
