Deep dives

Mortality Rate Spike Post-Prison Release

After analyzing data of nearly 1.5 million ex-prisoners across eight countries, a study revealed that the mortality rate within the first week post-release was more than twice as high as a month later. The main cause of death during this period was alcohol and drug poisoning, with enforced abstinence in prison leading to reduced tolerance, increasing the risk of overdose. Complex health issues, often rooted in trauma, present challenges, necessitating better healthcare services and immediate access to mental health support upon release.
