Discussion

Cross-sectional study shows high prevalence of depression in prisoners, indicating urgent need for intervention.

Depression prevalence among inmates was notably high at 51.4%, with variations observed between genders.
Certain factors, such as trauma history and social support, significantly influenced depression risk levels in male and female prisoners.
The study employed a cross-sectional approach to assess the prevalence of depression and its associated factors in a sample of 289 prisoners.
The findings may enable targeted interventions to address the high rates of depression among prisoners, particularly in medium-security settings.
