Self ‐reported injection practices among people who use drugs in French prisons: Public health implications (ANRS‐Coquelicot survey 2011–2013)
ConclusionsThe prevalences of injection practices and needle/syringe sharing in prisons are alarmingly high. Effective interventions to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases among people who use drugs in the prison setting are essential. The implementation of international recommendations on the principle of equivalence between prisons and the community is still very limited in most countries, and should be complemented with tailored interventions for the most vulnerable prison populations, especially Russian‐speaking detainees.
