Ayhan, Gülen et al. “Suicide Risk among Prisoners in French Guiana: Prevalence and Predictive Factors.” BMC Psychiatry 2017. 17:156.
The article states that its purpose is "to evaluate the prevalence of suicidal risk and its predictive factors in the correctional population of French Guiana" (2). A study was conducted and revealed that 13.2% had suicide risk, with 14% of these being at a high risk for suicide. There was a reasonably low risk of suicide among the prisoners in French Guiana, but the average suicide rate was not notably different than of the France mainland. The researchers were not able to identify why the risk was lower compared to France and Martinique. However, they did hypothesize that "the high proportion of foreign detainees" leads to often not having strong community ties and "thus is less subjected to social stigma" (4).
