ADHD may be far more common in correctional populations than many people realize, creating challenges for inmates and prison administrators alike. Difficulties with attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation can complicate institutional discipline, daily routines, and interactions with correctional officers. This episode examines how untreated ADHD may contribute to behavioral problems behind bars and why symptoms are sometimes mistaken for deliberate defiance. We also explore the potential role of screening, treatment, and structured interventions in improving correctional outcomes.
