Online only: Report finds most U.S. inmates suffer from substance abuse or addiction

The Nation's Health April 2010, 40 (3) E11;

Excerpt

In the dozen years since the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse released its first report on substance abuse among the nation’s prison population, no progress has been made in reducing the numbers of inmates with substance abuse problems crowding the nation’s prisons and jails, according to a new report. In fact, 65 percent of the nation’s inmates meet certain medical criteria for substance abuse and addiction, but only 11 percent received treatment for their addictions.
