Book online: Biz in the Pris: A history of drug use in prisons | Royal College of Nursing
Substance misuse is widespread in prison settings. Find out about the history of drug misuse, alongside recent creative interventions to explain the dangers of drug abuse to young offenders and beyond. Janet Weston will talk about the impact of the HIV and AIDS pandemic in the 1980s and 1990s on prisons and drug misuse. The emergence of HIV and AIDS in the early 1980s overlapped with a 'heroin epidemic,' and put prisons under new kinds of pressure. Denise Lyons will share the creation of the innovative ‘Biz in the Pris’ project, which involved people who work and live in secure environments in the creation of a comic book about addiction.
