As jails and prisons have become filled to capacity with inmates arrested and convicted for drug-related offenses, efforts have intensified to reduce subsequent drug use, drug-related crime, and recidivism among this population. Faced with the drug abuse epidemic; treatment resources in the community have expanded more quickly than in detention and corrections facilities. Many large jails and prisons do not presently have a substance abuse treatment program despite clear evidence of widespread drug and alcohol dependence problems among inmate populations. Where substance abuse treatment resources are available, administrators face difficult choices in determining which inmates will receive services. This paper provides a discussion of issues related to referral and screening procedures for in-jail substance abuse treatment programs. Referral and screening systems implemented in several jails across the country are reviewed.
由于监狱已人满为患，关押的都是因毒品相关罪行被捕和定罪的囚犯，因此加大了力度以减少这一人群随后的吸毒、与毒品相关的犯罪和累犯情况。面对药物滥用的流行趋势，社区的治疗资源比拘留和惩教设施的扩展速度更快。尽管有明确证据表明囚犯群体中普遍存在药物和酒精依赖问题，但许多大型监狱目前并没有药物滥用治疗项目。在有药物滥用治疗资源的地方，管理人员在决定哪些囚犯将接受服务时面临艰难选择。本文讨论了与监狱内药物滥用治疗项目的转诊和筛查程序相关的问题。对全国几个监狱实施的转诊和筛查系统进行了审查。
