Factors Associated With Injection and Noninjection Drug Use During Incarceration Among Puerto Rican Drug Injectors in New York and Puerto Rico

Abstract: This study examines factors related to injection and noninjection drug use during the last incarceration among injection drug users in East Harlem, New York (n = 555), and Bayamón, Puerto Rico (n = 241). Injecting drugs during the last incarceration episode was more likely in the sample in Puerto Rico (31% vs. 12%, p < .001), and noninjection drug use was more likely in the New York sample (37% vs. 14%, p < .001). Gang affiliation and length of incarceration were related to injection and noninjection dru… Show more

“…Injection drug users (IDUs) account for 17% of people living with HIV (CDC, 2012b). Moreover, incarcerated IDUs have been shown to have higher rates of infectious diseases than non-incarcerated IDUs (Andia et al, 2005; McBride & Inciardi, 1990). …”

“…En effet, des recherches attestent que beaucoup de prisonniers continuent de consommer une fois incarcérés (Plourde et Brochu, 2002aet 2002bBoys et al, 2002 ;Butler et al, 2003 ;Andía et al, 2005). Une étude menée dans les pénitenciers fédéraux québécois démontre que 33 % des détenus auraient consommé une substance psychoactive dans les trois mois d'incarcéra-tion ayant immédiatement précédé l'étude (Plourde et Brochu, 2002aet 2002b.…”

Par ailleurs, dans une étude visant à identifi er les facteurs contribuant à la consommation de drogues dans une prison de New York et une de Puerto Rico, parmi les 796 participants, 41 % (New York) et 38 % (Puerto Rico) ont reconnu avoir consommé de la drogue lors de leur séjour en détention (Andía et al, 2005). Entre le tiers et la moitié des individus qui consommaient des drogues injectables avant leur détention continueraient de le faire en prison (Plourde et Brochu, 2002aet 2002bButler et al, 2003).…”

“…Nearly 50 % of state and federal prisoners report a history of drug abuse or dependence in the 12 months prior to incarceration, and 25 % were under the influence of drugs at the time they committed their offenses [2][3][4]. Scattered reports suggest that rather than being a "dry" environment, drug abuse, and misuse continue to occur during incarceration, often by inventive means [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Recent reports, for example, have documented outbreaks of botulism in prisons due to consumption of contaminated moonshine, or "pruno" [13,14].…”
