Extract

A considerable number of men are received annually into Brixton prison remanded, or committed for trial, on a charge of attempted suicide. They are all specially examined as to their mental condition, and a large number of them are remanded for that purpose. From the plentiful clinical material thus studied these remarks were prepared whilst I was on the medical staff of that prison, and I have to thank the Prison Commissioners for their permission to publish them.
