Abstract
Suicidal ideation and suicide threats as elements of suicidal behaviour may occur in every social group, to a small extent though. Negative behaviour of this type increases among people in penal institutions. 112 prisoners took part in a study conducted in a detention center. The results of the study show that suicidal ideation is present among people in prison to a large extent and range. The length of the prison sentence causes a higher frequency of suicidal ideation. Suicide threats occur among prisoners, however, with a much lower frequency than suicidal ideation. They are manifested for the purpose of manipulating the prison staff and gaining better living conditions in penal institutions.
