TOPIC: ADHD and the Incarceration/Wrongful Conviction Connection
People with ADHD tend to get into trouble more than usual, often at an early age. They're two to three times more likely to be arrested, convicted, and put into prison than those without ADHD. Prison is a risky place when you have ADHD.
As many as 1 in 4 people in prison have been diagnosed with ADHD – more than eight times the rate in the general population. The rate of ADHD is five times higher in youth prisons and 10 times higher in adult prisons than it is in people who aren't in prison.
ADHD affects the parts of your brain that help you plan, manage behavior, and control your emotions and impulses. When those areas don't work like they should, it's easier to give in to urges that could get you into a jam – like driving drunk, getting into a fight, or breaking into a neighbor's house.
ADHD causes a few problem behaviors in the teen years and adulthood that increase the risk of legal consequences:
Doing poorly in school, skipping school, or dropping out
Hanging out with the "wrong" crowd
Being defiant or aggressive
Being unemployed
Having substance use issues.
