just something i read in my book i thought id share
"A strong associatoin exists between substance abuse and inmate status. For example, 1 study of 400 Teas inmates found that almost 75% suffered from lifetime substance abuse or dependence disorder, ....... about 80% of inmates report using drugs at some time durin their lives, and more than 60% are regular users. About half of the inmates reportbeing either drunk, high, or both when they committed the crime that landed them in prion. Considering this backgroud, it shuold come as no surprise that more inmates die from HIV related disease than from prison violence"
theres probbaly more to it than that in another chapter. but just something interesting
