Learning Objectives: • Identify and analyze the six housing status categories associated with all suicides that have occurred within the PA DOC since 2000. • Describe reasons why it is believed prison suicides occur so rarely with people who are not housed alone and so often with those who are housed alone. • Explain the revisions the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has made to their Suicide Prevention policies and practices in response to this housing status data.

Individuals are sentenced directly by the judicial system and are court ordered to complete the treatment program. All individuals follow the jail system rules and are housed together. Most of the patients have failed a community program prior to coming to this program.

Learning Objectives: • Participants will learn how the program was set up for success.
