Fovet T, Wathelet M, Amad A, et al. - Incarcerated people were compared with the general population with respect to the prevalence rates of trauma exposure, subthreshold post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and full PTSD.

• Psychiatric disorders were screened among men upon admission to jail (N = 630) and non-incarcerated men living in the same geographic area (the northern district of France; N = 5,793) using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview.

• Full PTSD was overrepresented among men in jail.

• Overall incarcerated people were noted to exhibit higher prevalence rates of full PTSD and psychiatric comorbidities associated with PTSD symptoms when compared with the general population.

• Researchers recommend considering the provision of trauma-focused interventions tailored to these clinical specificities for the jail population.
