This document presents a review of evidence on mental health and wellbeing of young people in custody, focusing on suicide risk and prevention in custody.
It organises evidence into different frames and factors, separating the diverse perspectives through which mental health issues are analysed. These can shape alternative and sometimes contradictory understandings of problems and what to do about them.
This evidence review was part of a larger review carried out by HM Inspectorate of Prisons for Scotland.
