ABSTRACT
Background:
In the period 2002-2020, a total of 431 people were sentenced to coercive mental health care. Many of these had served time in prison, either previously or in connection with the criminal acts that led to the current sentences. This study examines the background, criminal history and mental health status of individuals before they committed the offences that led to their imprisonment. Material andmethod:
Data from the Norwegian Correctional Service's Register of Imprisonments, the Register of Convictions, the Norwegian Patient Registry and Statistics Norway were used to study former prisoners who were sentenced to coercive mental health care in the period 2002-2020, who had served prison terms.Results:
Among 286 former prisoners who were sentenced to coercive mental health care, 246 (86.0 %) had previous convictions, and 140 (49.0 %) had previously had criminal charges dropped due to doubt as to criminal culpability. Previous psychiatric illness in the last two years was studied in 186 individuals. Of these, 151 (81.2 %) had undergone treatment in the mental health service, with psychotic disorders (106/186 (57.0 %)) and substance use disorders (109/186 (58.6 %)) being the most common diagnoses.Interpretation:
Former prisoners who are sentenced to coercive mental health care tend to have an extensive criminal and mental health care history prior to committing criminal acts that lead to coercive mental health care.
