Suicidal offenders
(Special Offenders)
Designed for use in both jails and police lockups, this curriculum is intended to equip law enforcement personnel, jail administrators and their staff, and contract mental health/medical personnel with a basic understanding of suicidal behavior as it relates to the facility environment. Ten to twelve hours of training cover various topics including facts and fiction of jail suicide, why jail environments are conducive to suicidal behavior, high suicide risk periods, situational risk factors of suicidal behavior, housing and supervising suicidal inmates, managing potentially suicidal inmates, the impact of jail design on inmate management and suicide prevention, and jail suicide litigation. The training package consists of a one-volume manual that includes lesson plans, sample forms, suicide prevention screening guidelines, and text for overhead transparencies.
