Despite the use of multiple strategies to screen, assess, monitor, house, and safely clothe suicidal individuals, suicide remains the leading cause of death in jails. Most jails need to tweak current suicide prevention strategies to truly reduce the number of in-custody suicide deaths, as well as avoid suicide-related lawsuits. This high-energy and interactive session focuses on 7 key issues all jails should consider modifying to strengthen their suicide prevention programs. Practical material with photos, real-world examples, and lessons learned from jail suicide litigation.
