Drug Policy
Inmates incarcerated for drug offenses make up about 20 percent of state prison populations, but more than half of all inmates meet the criteria for drug abuse or dependence. Despite high rates of addiction among offenders, few receive treatment in prison. Many states in recent years have enacted policies to divert drug offenders to community supervision and treatment, and policymakers also are reviewing and revising drug offense crime classifications and penalties.
