Article Synopsis
- A study in Ecuador's largest male prison found that the prevalence of depression and psychosis among inmates was significant at 50.2% and 25.9%, respectively.
- Drug use in prison was reported by 41.4% of inmates, with those in younger age groups showing even higher rates of depression or psychosis.
- The research concluded that lack of social support (e.g., no visitor presence) and drug use were strong predictors of mental health issues in this population.
