This report presents data from the 2004 Survey of inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities on prisoners’ prior use, dependence, and abuse of illegal drugs. |

Abstract:
|
Tables include trends in the levels of drug use, type of drugs used, and treatment reported by State and Federal prisoners since the last national survey was conducted in 1997. The report also presents measures of dependence and abuse by gender, race, Hispanic origin, and age. It provides data on the levels of prior drug use (with an in-depth look at methamphetamine use), dependence, and abuse by selected characteristics, such as family background, criminal record, type of drug used, and offense. Highlights include the following: (1) among drug dependent or abusing prisoners, 40 percent of State and 49 percent of Federal inmates took part in drug abuse treatment or programs since admission to prison; (2) among both State and Federal prisoners, White inmates were at least 20 times more likely than Black inmates to report recent methamphetamine use; and (3) violent offenders in State prison (50 percent) were less likely than drug (72 percent) and property (64 percent) offenders to have used drugs in the month prior to their offense.
