Suicide in prison: a study of France from 1852 to 1913.
Prison suicide rates in France from 1852 to 1913 were strongly correlated with the overall male suicide rate in France. Measures of domestic social integration were associated with both of these suicide rates, but were less successful in accounting for the prison suicide rate than the overall male suicide rate.
