Objective: To analyze physical victimization in the prison population, taking into account the existence of some kind of mental illness, in the prison of Albolote (Granada). Methods: 270 inmates conducted an anonymous and voluntary survey about victimization. Results: 36.7% of all inmates suffered some form of physical victimization in prison. 62.2% of participants consider that they have anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or other mental illness, half of whom receive treatment for these problems. Conclusions: Physical attacks on people with mental illness are 2.5 times higher than on those who do not have a mental illness.
