对全州监狱人口中的暴力行为进行了审查，以确定其发生率、伤害类型、所需的外科手术、参与创伤的人员以及造成伤害的武器。目的是查明趋势，以协助制定预防方法。在3年的时间里，来自田纳西州的1600名囚犯在我们的机构住院。大多数人来自最高安全单位。有133次创伤。我们的研究集中在94名囚犯的第一次入院。其中14人（15%）是自己造成的，包括7名自己造成的穿透伤。十九种不同的武器被用来造成创伤。监狱食堂的餐具和车间的公用设施和办公设备可能需要重新设计，因为这些物品经常用于暴力行为。应重新安置一再遭受暴力的受害者。最后，自残者可能需要被转移到精神受损者机构，以保护他们自己。
Acts of violence within a statewide prison population were reviewed to determine the incidence, types of injuries, surgical procedures required, persons involved in the trauma, and weapons used to inflict the injuries. The objective was to identify trends to aid in developing methods of prevention. Over a 3-year period, 1600 prisoners from the state of Tennessee were hospitalized at our institution. The majority were from the maximum security unit. There were 133 episodes of trauma. Our study focused on the first admission of 94 inmates. Fourteen (15%) of the injuries were self-inflicted, including seven self-inflicted penetrating wounds. Nineteen different weapons were used to inflict trauma. Prison cafeteria utensils and workshop utility and office devices may need to be redesigned because these items are frequently used in acts of violence. Victims subjected to repeated episodes of violence should be relocated. Lastly, self-mutilators may need to be transferred to an institution for the mentally impaired for their own protection.
