AnnotationThe number of older prisoners is increasing, and evidence suggests that there is significant unidentified psychiatric morbidity in this group. Currently, older prisoners who have psychiatric needs are managed either by the generic forensic psychiatric services or generic old age psychiatry services. The authors discuss the extent of the problem and how these patients can be better identified. (RH).
