drugs and alcohol prior to detention. Once in prison, the
relation between the type of crime and substance abuse is not as
relevant. The negative impact of prison—since alcohol and
drug consumption in prison is generalized—the abuse is deter-
mined by availab ili ty of the substances.
As mentioned previously, the information obtained by this
study, is a relevant tool as well as an important element of
analysis for the development of intervention strategies, preven-
tive policies and developing intervention programmes in the
crime field (by prison, by the government by psychologists,
etc.).
Considering the fact that most of these women and men had
a childhood and probably a lifetime living near of at least one
mental disorder, -including substance misuse disorders and
personality disorders-, indicates a need for improving services,
particularly within the prisons. Planning and improving psy-
chological services for sentenced prisoners may be an opportu-
nity to treat disorders related to substance use, violence and
depression and to demonstrate the importance of community
detection and monitoring programmes aiming prevention of
delinquency.
