“…Inmates typically complete a computerized mental health screening within 14 days of admission to prison. The computerized screening included two psychological screening measures at the time this study was conducted: the Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis, 1993) and the DHS, although it has since been updated to include measures to screen for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and intellectual ability (Martin, Wamboldt, O'Connor, Fortier, & Simpson, 2013). Screening is typically completed in a group testing area with separate work stations for each inmate, although in some cases it may be administered individually depending on the institution.…”

The Custody Rating Scale (CRS) is utilized by Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) in classification of women offenders; it is gender-neutral. The purpose of the study was to examine if gender-informed domains predict misconducts in women offenders. Gender-informed items that were predictive were used to create the Gender-Informed Version 1 Continuous, Gender-Informed Version 2 Continuous, Gender-Informed Version 1 Trichotomized and Gender-Informed Version 2 Trichotomized scales. The scales were tested to determine if they yield incremental predictive validity beyond the CRS. A sample of 1,528 federally sentenced women was analyzed. Results found addition of gender-informed variables improved the incremental predictive validity of the CRS. This was found for non-Indigenous offenders, but results for Indigenous offenders were mixed. Findings supported the inclusion of gender-informed factors to the CRS. Implications for CSC and future research directions are discussed.

“…Por otro lado, y en concreto en la edad adulta, las enfermedades mentales parecen ser más frecuentes en población penitenciaria que en población general (Fazel & Seewald, 2012;Martin, Wamboldt, O'Connor, Fortier, & Simpson, 2013). El informe de prevalencia de trastornos mentales en centros penitenciarios españoles (Vicens-Pons & Grupo de Prevalencia en Cárceles [Grupo PRECA], 2009) recoge que ocho de cada diez internos ingresados en cárceles han padecido a lo largo de su vida un trastorno mental, con un 40% de estos internos presentando alguno de ellos en la actualidad -alrededor del 80% presenta historia de trastorno por uso de sustancias, principalmente alcohol y cocaína.…”

ResumenDiversos estudios coinciden en señalar que la prevalencia de enfermedades mentales en internos penitenciarios es signifi cativamente mayor que en la población general. En este contexto, la literatura muestra que existe una importante presencia de síntomas del Trastorno por Défi cit de Atención con Hiperactividad (TDAH) en esta población. Sin embargo, la investigación al respecto es escasa. En este estudio se estimó la prevalencia con cribado positivo para TDAH en la población penitenciaria, y se establecieron las características sociodemográfi cas asociadas al trastorno. Se administraron dos escalas de evaluación del TDAH ampliamente empleadas y validadas en población adulta -ASRS y WURS. Los participantes fueron 143 presos del Establecimiento Penitenciario de Villabona (Asturias, España), con un rango de edad entre 18 y 69 años. Los resultados obtenidos indican una prevalencia aparente del TDAH en torno al 25% utilizando ambas escalas y con resultados coincidentes entre ellas. Además se encontraron diferencias signifi cativas por sexo, por nivel de escolaridad y situación laboral, con diferentes perfi les según la presencia de los síntomas del TDAH. Estos resultados evidencian la necesidad de estudiar las consecuencias de este trastorno en la población penitenciaria, con el objeto de mejorar el manejo terapéutico en este contexto, atendiendo a sus características. Palabras clave: TDAH, prisión, prevalencia, características sociodemográfi cas, evaluación de la conducta. AbstractThere is a good deal of evidence suggesting that the prevalence of mental disorders among imprisoned people is signifi cantly higher that in general population. In this context, literature shows that there is an important presence of Attention Defi cit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) within this population. However, research on this topic is lacking. This study estimated the prevalence of ADHD in a penitentiary population by means of positive screening and established the sociodemographic characteristics related to the presence of the disorder. Two different scales of ADHD, widely applied and validated for adult population, were used for this purpose -ASRS and WURS. One-hundred and forty three prisoners between 18 and 69 years old from Villabona's Penitentiary Establishment (Asturias, Spain) took part in this study. Results showed 25% of apparent prevalence of ADHD, using both scales. Statistically signifi cant differences were found in sex, educational level and employment situation, showing different profi les as a function of the presence of ADHD symptoms. These results highlight the need to study the consequences of this disorder within imprisoned populations in order to improve therapeutic management, paying attention to their characteristics.
