Abstract
The World Health Organization in 2008 noted that of the nine million prisoners world-wide, at least one million suffer from a significant mental disorder. Health problems in Indian prisons have not been systematically studied, so a study of hundred and fifteen under trials was done. We found that two third of the under trials had mood disorder and another two third had comorbid substance use disorder.
