Résumé : | Little is known about the experiences of Irish prisoners in relation to drug use. To date, research in this area has focused on quantitative data, which demonstrate that a significant percentage of prisoners have a history of drug use, and a proportion of these continue to use drugs while in prison. It was felt that a qualitative approach would help inform the quantitative data available, by offering an in-depth examinarion of rhe issues facing prisoners in relation to drug use. The current study is an explorarory study of drug use among prisoners and the relared issues faced by prisoners. The overall objectives of the study were to: • explore the nature of drug use among prisoners; • explore the impact of incarceration on prisoners!drug use; • explore users' perceptions of services available to them within the prison setting; and • examine the experiences of non-drug-users within a prison setting where there may be a significant number of prisoners with a history of drug use. |
