title: [Mental illness in prisons--view of forensic psychiatrists].
abstract: To the extent to which comparisons have been undertaken with the general population, a greatly raised prevalence of psychiatric illness amongst prisoners has been found across countries and across diagnostic groups. Thus, one would expect a greater level of need for treatment in the penal system. In accordance with the conditions of modern psychiatric care, cooperation between impatient, part-impatient and outpatient services in the sense of integration should be guaranteed.
