Preferred term

prison deaths  

Definition(s)

  • Prison deaths remain one of the most poorly researched and documented areas in the social sciences. In no small part this is due to the “total institution” nature of prison facilities and their staffs and the concomitant secrecy that surrounds any death in that environment. [Source: Encyclopedia of Death and the Human Experience; Prison Deaths]
