Many states have responded to the spread of COVID-19 by implementing policies which have led to a dramatic reduction in jail populations. We consider the benefits associated with providing the population of individuals who would, but for these policies, be incarcerated with substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. We discuss problems that may prevent this population from receiving SUD treatment as well as policies which may mitigate these problems.
许多州已经对 COVID-19 的传播做出了反应,实施了导致监狱人口急剧减少的政策。我们考虑了为那些本来会因这些政策而被监禁的患有药物使用障碍(SUD)的人提供治疗的好处。我们讨论了可能阻止这些人接受 SUD 治疗的问题,以及可能缓解这些问题的政策。
