Self-harm in carceral settings can include, but is not limited to, cutting, head-banging, swallowing razors and other sharp objects, and self-amputations of fingers or testicles. A 2014 study of New York City jail admissions published in the American Journal of Public Health found that, after controlling for length of jail stay, age, race/ethnicity, and mental illness status, individuals placed in solitary confinement were 6.9 times more likely to commit self-harm and 6.3 times more likely to commit potentially fatal self-harm than the general jail population. While 7.3 percent of jail stays included any time in solitary, 53.3 percent of acts of self-harm and 45 percent of acts of potentially fatal self harm took place among people who had spent time in solitary during their stay. Incarcerated individuals who attempt self-harm or suicide are often placed on suicide watch, an intensive form of isolation and monitoring that takes place in a bbare cellb with few if any furnishings. While on suicide watch, individuals are typically denied clothing and bedding (to prevent them from hanging themselves using bedsheets), as well as programming and contact visits. Though these conditions are intended to prevent individuals from committing suicide, they often exacerbate trauma and other pre-existing mental health conditions. Individuals in suicide watch cells have still found numerous ways to harm themselves, including by diving head-first into the floor and biting through veins in their wrists ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V14 #11893 ***********************************************
