National Health Service Executive guidelines require psychiatric services to maintain links with prisoners previously subject to the Care Programme Approach (CPA) and to participate in discharge planning. We are unaware of previous studies assessing the involvement of general psychiatric services with patients in prison or prisoners' perceptions of their needs. Consecutive referrals to a prison psychiatric liaison service over a three-month period were screened for previous psychiatric contact. Half of those interviewed reported previous psychiatric contact. Two-thirds were in contact with services at the time of detention. One-third believed services knew of their imprisonment. Ninety-three per cent believed they would require psychiatric support after release. Few patients received input from general psychiatric services during imprisonment despite a high level of perceived need. Improved liaison would help facilitate both care in prison and discharge planning in the spirit of CPA and the government directive.

The PROQ2 is based on the interpersonal octagon. It has 96 items on eight scales. The mean score for Grendon prisoners has been found to be between that of a student sample and that of a psychotherapy patient sample. This study found that among the prisoners sex offenders had the highest mean scores. This may suggest that sex offenders have a diminished capacity to form relationships with others.
