Résumé :
Some pilot models of distributing syringes to i.v. drug addicts in prisons have so far been implemented and evaluated in Switzerland, Lower Saxony and Hamburg. Further projects are planned in some German States. Their main purpose is to prevent hepatitis and H.I.V. infections caused by needle sharing within a theoretical framework of "harm reduction". There are lots of theoretical, political, social, therapeutical and institutional arguments as well in favour of and against such programmes. In addition, different practices and first results need to be discussed. The paper refers to a current research project sponsored by the German Research Foundation. It concentrates on the legal problems involved, a scientific comparison of organizational modalities and aspects of the evaluation of such models. First results indicate that new models may be justified, if they are carefully planned, adjusted to the specific prison structures and inmates, discussed with and accepted by prison staff members, and, at the same time, scientifically evaluated.
