The psychometric properties of a psychosis screen in a correctional setting

Many people who go to gaol are mentally ill. Remandees, prisoner receptions or people in jails have a substantially higher rate of severe mental disorder than other prisoners and the general population. There are no completely satisfactory ways to screen for psychosis and few existing screening questionnaires are available for use in correctional establishments. The Screening Instrument for Psychosis (PS) was developed in the context of the Australian Mental Health Survey: Study of Low Prevalence Disorders. It can help indicate whether a person should be referred to mental health professional for a diagnostic evaluation and possible treatment and/or diversion. We trialled the PS in a high security remand and reception centre. Measures of validity and reliability are reported. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier Inc.

AS RELIGIÕES NAS CELAS: UM ESTUDO DAS OPÇÕES RELIGIOSAS DAS MULHERES AFRO-DESCENDENTES NOS PRESÍDIOS FEMININOS DA CAPITAL PAULISTA

Esta pesquisa estuda como se dá a escolha e a participação das mulheres afrodescendentes nas religiões inseridas nos presídios. Nos concentramos na instituição total denominada prisão. Nesta pesquisa buscamos estudar a religião em dois presídios da capital paulista. Levando em consideração o depoimento das presas, pretendemos estudar como as mulheres afro-descendentes (presas) optam por determinadas religiões. Passamos pela verificação teórica sobre a temática, e confirmamos no campo a situação das mulheres afrodescendentes. Em relação às religiões nesse contexto discutiremos o que a religião significa para as mulheres afro-descendentes, como elas optam, praticam e participam da religião nesses espaços, e qual o sentido da religião escolhida na vida cotidiana no presídio.

Reforma en salud penitenciaria. Recorrido por el sistema de atencióm de la salud en las cárceles de la provincia de Buenos Aires

ResumenEl análisis de la dinámica del sistema de atención de la salud en el ámbito de las cárceles de la provincia de Buenos Aires, permite comprender las concepciones que, en torno a la violencia y a la población carcelaria, se hacen quienes definen la política sanitaria interna y a los funcionarios menores que la implementan en cada unidad penitenciaria; constituye una puerta de entrada para conocer y comprender la lógica de funcionamiento de cada unidad penitenciaria. Así, proponemos transitar este sistema con el objeto de plantear que la coexistencia de normas contradictorias, normas escritas proclamadas por el discurso oficial y normas impuestas por la vida en el interior del sistema carcelario, en tanto condición del funcionamiento del sistema, se ha convertido en un contrasentido que tiene una lógica propia de funcionamiento. Lo haremos recorriendo la trayectoria de una de las personas detenidas, a través de los registros realizados en su legajo sanitario (historia clínica), como trayectoria socioinstitucional que da cuenta del despliegue de la maquinaria penitenciaria sobre los cuerpos.AbstractThe analysis of the dynamic of the health system attention in the ambit of jails of the province of Buenos Aires, allows the understanding of the conceptions that -around violence and of prison population- those who define the sanitary internal politics and implement it in every penitentiary unit have; it constitutes a clue to understand the functioning logic of every penitentiary unit. So, we propose to travel this system in order to raise that the coexistence of contradictory procedures, written procedures proclaimed by the official discourse and imposed by the life inside the prison system, as a condition of the functioning of the system, have turned into an absurdity that has an own logic of functioning. We will do the analysis by going across the path of one of the arrested persons, across the records performed in his sanitary file (clinical history), as socio institutional path which accounts for the penitentiary machinery display on the bodies.
