Abstract
This article examines the distribution of self-reported mental health conditions and clinical
contact among incarcerated transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals compared to
cisgender women and men. Data are derived from the 2016 Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI).
Results indicate that TGD respondents report more mental health symptoms, conditions, and
clinical contact than their cisgender counterparts. The findings have important implications for
the mental health disadvantages experienced by TGD people currently in prison.
