Résumé :
This summary presents the main, essentially qualitative, findings from this exploratory study of drug supply and demand in six local prisons (five male and one female) in England. As with any small-scale qualitative research, findings should be interpreted with appropriate caution. The research was undertaken as one element of the Supply Reduction Programme launched by the Prison Service Drug Strategy Unit in February 2003. The study forms part of a coordinated programme of work that aims to support establishments in their ongoing efforts to reduce the supply of drugs in prisons. Interviews were conducted with 121 serving and recently released prisoners (purposefully selected to be knowledgeable about prison drug markets) and 37 staff from the six establishments between June 2003 and March 2004. Data from mandatory drug testing (MDT) and drug-related security information reports (SIRs) were also collated and analysed.
