ADDICTED PRISONERS AND VIOLENCE IN PRISONS

Summary/Abstract: Violence in prisons is a frequent phenomenon, and the cause of such behavior is severe deprivations, conflict between informal groups due to the territory inside the prison, intolerance of prisoners, conflicts that often occur between accomplices or daily disputes that occur outside the prison. However, in larger penitentiary systems, violence also occurs due to intoxicants, which are often a profitable business during the prison sentence, and which also carry a great risk. Addicted prisoners represent a growing category and population within prisons. In this paper, we want to point out the problem of narcotic drugs within the prison system, which is often the reason for conflicts between drug addicts and prison gangs, which often leads to larger conflicts. Although the formal system works to prevent introduction, suppress the sale of narcotics and punish dealers and addicts, this problem is present in almost all prison systems.
