In this paper I will talk about prisoners’ mental problems, and summarize some factors and reasons behind them. All information that I collect is from online survey or published paper, providing powerful evidence about incarcerated people’s mental health. Also, I will particularly give the Chinese government and jail some advice on dealing with and supervising prisoners’ mental problems.
