• com/news/state/20000825/t000079960. html Friday, August 25, 2000 Prisons Are a Hotbed of Drug Use, Survey Finds Corrections: Former inmates say the environment permits and often even fosters substance abuse. By CARLA RIVERA, LA Times Staff Writer Prisons in California and across the nation are virtual drug dens, with inmates easily able to score fixes inside and make connections to obtain and sell drugs when they get out, according to a rare survey of drug users now in treatment. ... The findings are included in a poll of nearly 600 residents of the drug treatment program Phoenix House at 10 of its locations in New York, Florida, Texas and Santa Ana in Orange County. ... But they are hardly fans of the system, and many decried the paucity of treatment programs in prisons, saying they were given little motivation to quit drugs. "Prisons provide environments that sustain substance abuse among users and even foster drug use in nonusers," said Mitchell S. ... "Treatment is just not part of the equation, even though individuals who have been in prison have told us that society would benefit from treatment. " The issue resonates in California, where officials with the state Department of Corrections acknowledged at a legislative hearing last year that drugs are easily available, if not rampant, in prison and that abuse of them make inmates more violent and likely to commit crimes after their release. ... But she defended the department's efforts to flush the system of drugs, noting that the state has recently begun a program that randomly tests a sampling of inmates for drugs each week at several state facilities. ... The department estimates that 80% of all prison inmates had histories of substance abuse before their incarceration and that nearly 40% of all inmates are imprisoned specifically for dealing in or possessing drugs. The Phoenix House survey, which was conducted in April by the national polling firm Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, found: * 83% of the respondents (92% in California) said they had been arrested on a drug-related charge.

• By Denny Walsh -- Bee Staff Writer - (Published October 9, 2002) Attorneys for California inmates sought Tuesday to block what they claim is an illegal experiment with mentally ill prisoners that would place them in a 'dangerous, punitive and inhumane new 'Supermax' ' prison. The block of cells in question -- the first of 10 new high-security segregation units scheduled to go on line before the end of the year -- is an addition to the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility (CSATF) at Corcoran state prison. ... Two federal judges in California have held that housing mentally ill people under such conditions violates the 8th Amendment's bar on 'cruel and unusual punishment,' according to papers filed in Sacramento federal court by the attorneys who are seeking a temporary restraining order. ... CDC spokeswoman Margot Bach said Tuesday that the motion is 'moot' because the agency has agreed to postpone its planned placement of mentally ill inmates in the units at Corcoran, and because the court-appointed special master in the class action suit does not support the motion. ... At the judge's direction, Keating and his staff of mental health professionals are paid by the state. ... ' Bien, who toured the facility Aug. ... That information would be compared with results from a control group of inmates in the facility's traditional segregation units. ... 'It is also in violation of California and federal law. ...

• Aftercare is Key to Ensuring an Effective Transition to the Community by Substance Abusing Inmates.
• Both criminal justice and substance abuse treatment experts have observed that important gains made during incarceration are not being sustained when offenders return to the community because the continuum of care is either inadequate or non-existent. (Peters, 1993) Drug-involved offenders who participated in a continuum of drug treatment including prison focused therapeutic community treatment followed by treatment in a work-release center in the Delaware system had lower rates of drug use and recidivism than the offenders in the institutional program alone. (Inciardi, 1996) A California study of the Amity prison therapeutic community program found that recidivism was lower in drug-involved offenders who had participated in both the Amity prison and Amity community-based therapeutic community programs. ...

• Obstacles to Continuity of Offender Treatment.

• Lack of coordination between the criminal justice system and substance abuse treatment programs. Substance abuse programs are often developed by health and human resource systems that have different goals and values from the criminal justice systems. ...
