| Summary: | Probation is a key component contemporary penal systems and socio-pedagogical sanction. Probation implementation aims the re-adaptation of convict to society without breaking his or her social environment during determined probation period. In general application, those under probation have to sign at the police station on the certain days of the month, join training, improvement activities, and work in cleaning, repair or landscaping jobs in a public institution. While healthy people fulfil these tasks smoothly, convicts with chronic illness might be unable to fulfil these tasks because of their health problems. For detection of this situation, a report assessing the clinical state of convict is requested from forensic experts. In this context, there might be malingering convicts that need to be examined in detail for differential diagnosis. In order to draw attention and increase the awareness of physicians to similar cases, this paper aims to report a patient transferred to forensic medicine clinic because of suspicion of malingering by probation directorate for evaluation of the ability of working in cleaning, repair or landscaping works in a public institution four hours/day. |
