Current studies have shown that prison inmates are more likely to have a mental disorder of some kind (ADHD, bipolar, and conduct disorders). In one study, the percentage of inmates who met the criteria for ADHD was 9.6%; this rate is higher than the 3%-5% estimate for the general population. Poor impulses and a higher likelihood of drug abuse likely are responsible for a higher proportion of ADHD people in prison.
