Huey, Thomas L. Mcnulty aThis article uses national data on prisons in the United States to examine the effects of deprivation, overcrowding, and their interaction on the likelihood of prison suicide. Our central argument is that overcrowding is a pivotal feature of prison environments that conditions the effects of deprivation. Findings provide substantial support for this hypothesis. For example, at low levels of overcrowding, minimum-security facilities evidence a lower probability of prison suicide, but at high levels, they are as likely to experience a suicide as their medium- and maximum-security counterparts. Theoretical and policy implications of the findings are discussed. cNew Yorkd2005pp. 490-514tThe Prison JournalvVol. 85, nº 4x15527522 aSUICÍDIO NA PRISÃO  aPOPULAÇÃO PRISIONAL aPRIVAÇÃO DE LIBERDADE  aSOBRELOTAÇÃO a316 aHUEYbMeredith P.  4070aMCNULTYbThomas L. aPTgRCP j159.9HUE
