国际预防自杀协会成立了一个监狱自杀问题工作队，以便更好地传播这方面的信息。其目标之一是总结监狱系统中的预防自杀活动。工作队的这项研究揭示了各国之间的许多差异，尽管精神卫生专业人员仍然是所有自杀预防活动的核心。囚犯同伴支持和惩教人员在预防自杀方面也发挥着关键作用，但外部社区工作者的参与程度差异很大。这些差异可以由资源的可得性、矫正和社区服务的结构来解释，但主要是由不同的自杀预防模式来解释。虽然有一个共同的和传统的范例，即自杀预防服务主要是由心理健康服务机构向个人提供的，但惩教系统在包括（或不包括）其他自杀预防伙伴的方式上有所不同：惩教人员、其他雇员、同伴囚犯、牧师/牧师和社区工作者。环境、历史和民族文化可以解释这种多样性，但它们也可能取决于我们在个人和环境层面上看待自杀预防的基本方式。
The International Association for Suicide Prevention created a Task Force on Suicide in Prisons to better disseminate the information in this domain. One of its objectives was to summarize suicide-prevention activities in the prison systems. This study of the Task Force uncovered many differences between countries, although mental health professionals remain central in all suicide prevention activities. Inmate peer-support and correctional officers also play critical roles in suicide prevention but there is great variation in the involvement of outside community workers. These differences could be explained by the availability of resources, by the structure of the correctional and community services, but mainly by the different paradigms about suicide prevention. While there is a common and traditional paradigm that suicide prevention services are mainly offered to individuals by mental health services, correctional systems differ in the way they include (or not) other partners of suicide prevention: correctional officers, other employees, peer inmates, chaplains/priests, and community workers. Circumstances, history, and national cultures may explain such diversity but they might also depend on the basic way we think about suicide prevention at both individual and environmental levels.
