Abstract

I noted an alarming surge in the prescribing of quetiapine (Seroquel) in our County correctional facility, Santa Rita Jail, approximately five years ago. The number of quetiapine tablets dispensed surpassed all other antipsychotic medications combined, in the observed three-month period. This sudden four-fold increase in prescribing to inmates by our psychiatrists was extremely unusual and warranted further investigation.
