Inmates report use of a wide range of drugs including heroin, methadone, and cocaine at some point in their lives without a doctor's prescription. The most commonly used drugs include marijuana and cocaine; tobacco and alcohol are also widely used [Am. J. Public Health 90 (2000) 1939; Am. J. Drug Alcohol Abuse 26 (2000) 229]. The present study explores the relationship between marijuana use and prior incarceration on 208 inmates' self-reported HIV/AIDS risk behaviors. Analysis involved descriptive and chi-square tests of association. Findings indicate that inmates with higher self-reported levels of education were significantly less likely than others to be repeat offenders. Data also support the argument that income prior to the most recent arrest and frequency of marijuana use was related to the outcome of being a repeat offender.
囚犯报告称，他们在人生的某个阶段在没有医生处方的情况下使用了包括海洛因、美沙酮和可卡因在内的多种药物。最常用的药物包括大麻和可卡因；烟草和酒精也被广泛使用[《美国公共卫生杂志》90 (2000) 1939；《美国药物与酒精滥用杂志》26 (2000) 229]。本研究探讨了208名囚犯自我报告的艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险行为中，大麻使用与先前监禁之间的关系。分析包括描述性分析和卡方关联检验。研究结果表明，自我报告教育水平较高的囚犯比其他人成为惯犯的可能性显著更低。数据还支持这样一种观点，即最近一次被捕前的收入和大麻使用频率与成为惯犯的结果有关。
