compulsive disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. The prisoners usually present with psychotic symptoms. Isolation can also cause depression, stress.

2nd: Psychiatrists have tried to come up with ways of helping the patients but their methods are not usually able to fully control the disorders, these ways which the psychiatrists have

identified as appropriate in controlling mental disorders are very rare as a result of insufficient resources as well as the harsh rules of confinement that are imposed on the prisoners. The

national commission on health care and the American psychiatric associations have made some efforts to thy an assist those inmates who have mental problems but this move is still insufficient

as it is not possible to cater for all the prisoners who are suffering from the disorders due to the increasing numbers of inmates who need psychiatric help. Also the staff needed in the

management of the psychiatric disorders is limited as well as the number of programs and specialized facilities.
