The publisher of International Journal of Prison Health wishes to retract the article Ndindeng, A.N. (2024), “Mental health and well-being in prisons and places of detention”, International Journal of Prison Health, Vol. ahead-of-print No. ahead-of-print. Link to International Journal of Prison HealthLink to the cited article.
It has come to our attention that generative AI was used in the creation of the article in breach of Emerald’s policy on artificial intelligence and authorship, and that a significant number of the papers referenced do not exist. Furthermore, the ethical considerations noted in the publication were inaccurate as the author(s) noted that approval was secured from their institution instead of Bamenda Central Prison. The journal submission guidelines make it clear that articles must meet the relevant ethical guidelines. The author of this paper would like to note that they do not agree with the content of this notice. The publisher sincerely apologizes to the readers.
