NARCOCRIMINALITY IN THE WORLD THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE PENITENTIARY SYSTEM

Abstract

In the last few decades of this and the last century, the problem of drug addicts in penitentiary systems around the world has become more pronounced.The presence of drugs in prisons makes it difficult to carry out institutional treatment not only of addicts but also of other persons serving prison terms with them, and such a situation reflects on the overall psychological atmosphere in prisons.In this paper, we will present this problem in more detail and indicate how much drugs are present in prison systems around the world, what difficulties drugs represent in the implementation of re-educational treatment for addicts, what strategies are implemented to combat this problem, and indicate some of the most important characteristics of drug crime in prison systems.
