New EMCDDA report underlines need to scale up drug services in prisons
Current insights and future challenges on drugs and prison in Europe are explored today in a major new study published by the EU drugs agency (EMCDDA)(1). Released on the eve of International day against drug abuse and illicit trafficking, the report, Prison and drugs in Europe: current and future challenges, takes an in-depth look at a wide range of issues in the prison setting, including drug use and harms, health and social responses and drug supply. It notes that, while, in several European countries, services in prison for people with drug problems have increased, treatment and care options available to this group remain limited and need to be scaled up.
