In Colorado and throughout the nation there are growing and concerted public health efforts to reduce suicide and other preventable deaths. On the continuum of mental health care usage and suicide risk are those who have struggled with some form of criminal legal problem. This is a population that has an especially high risk of suicide. Those exiting the criminal justice system on probation have been shown to have significantly higher suicide rates than the general population and a history of criminal charges has been associated with an increased risk of suicide.
