Abstract: This article examines the impacts of incarceration on the worsening of psychiatric disorders among inmates, based on a critical review of 25 recent studies. Findings indicate that prison environments significantly exacerbate depression, PTSD, personality disorders, and substance use issues. Although psychotherapeutic interventions show temporary efficacy, they are hindered by institutional failures and a lack of intersectoral policies. The heightened vulnerability of women and youth is emphasized, along with the challenges of post-incarceration reintegration. The study concludes that current prison systems contribute to mental deterioration and calls for a coordinated approach integrating health, justice, and social services.
