Implication

Retrospective cohort analysis identified psychological distress and risk factors for self-injury in North African prisoners, suggesting urgent need for mental health reforms.

Key Points

Non-suicidal self-injury occurred in 8% of 712 incarcerated men, highlighting serious psychological distress.
Multivariable analysis found younger age and prior NSSI significantly increased self-injury risk among North African prisoners.
Psychiatric illness and previous attempts were risk factors for others; higher education served as a protective factor.
These findings underscore the need for culturally competent mental health interventions to address systemic reform.
