abstract="In the article by Fitch et al. (Am J Epidemiol. 2024; 193(3):489-499) the authors highlight the concerning prevalence of suicide mortality among formerly incarcerated individuals in North Carolina. Their retrospective study reveals a doubled suicide risk post-release, with notable disparities among demographic groups. Urgent interventions are needed, including comprehensive re-entry programs and systemic reforms to address structural inequalities. I suggest tailored support services to mitigate suicide risks and promote successful community reintegration, advocating for equity, justice, and human dignity in post-release efforts.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
