[Sold to the end] Drug 'abuse'... Death rate 30 times, life expectancy reduced by 30 years

<Anchor>

In this study, based on the medical records of the detention facility, a medical analysis of how people died at the time was actually conducted for the first time.

The mortality rate among people living in institutions was several orders of magnitude higher than that of the average person, and life expectancy was found to be much shorter.

Medical records of a 57-year-old female prisoner who died in August 1990.

She complained of abdominal pain and was taken to the hospital. She had no specific findings other than 'constipation', and she died two days after returning to the accommodation facility.

Researchers who comprehensively reviewed the practice of prescribing a lot of 'chlorpromazine' at the facility that operated the psychiatric hospital together are suspicious of the side effects of psychiatric drugs.

A woman who was handed over to her family in 2007 after moving from one facility to another for over 20 years.

Her stomach was full of revenge, and she had only three or four teeth left.

This woman, died three years after returning to her family.

A 53-year-old woman who died due to a side effect of tuberculosis drugs wrote this appeal in the symptom log.

"Don't put him in a psychiatrist."

These are examples of how the inmates were treated in the detention facilities.

[It was a very shocking result.]

The mortality rates at the five camps in Incheon, Gyeonggi, and Gangwon where records were available were 8.2 to 12%.

It is 20 to 30 times higher than the adult mortality rate at that time.

The researchers point out that this is a figure that cannot be explained at all, even considering the poor nutritional status and the high rate of mental illness before admission.

There have been very few analyzes of death in prison facilities abroad, too, which is in stark contrast to the results of an Australian study that found that the death rate for schizophrenic patients at home is four times that of the general population.

A tendency to premature death was also clearly identified.

Depending on the facility, male deaths were short-lived by up to 20 years and female fatalities up to 30 years.

It is also compared with the results of a follow-up study in the United States that found that people with schizophrenia live about 10 years shorter than the general population.
