The authors use data collected in Scotland to investigate differences between individuals entering drug treatment in prison and those entering drug treatment outside the prison setting. They also explore variations between male and female drug-using prisoners. Their findings suggest that prison drug services should be more tailored to the specific needs of both their male and female clients.
