To better understand why people use new psychoactive substances in prison – outcomes of polish, qualitative study

Using NPS in prisons allows to better adapt to the specific conditions of prison life and regulate the emotions associated with being in prison. The properties of NPS make them a strong alternative to traditional drugs in prison settings. The findings emphasize the need for prison-specific prevention and intervention strategies that address both the structural and emotional factors contributing to NPS use. Future research should focus on assessing the prevalence of NPS use in correctional settings and evaluating the effectiveness of existing preventive measures.
