This volume addresses the interface of two major national problems: the epidemic of HIV-AIDS and the widespread use of illegal injection drugs. Should communities have the option of giving drug users sterile needles or bleach for cleaning needs in order to reduce the spread of HIV? Does needle distribution worsen the drug problem, as opponents of such programs argue? Do they reduce the spread of other serious diseases, such as hepatitis? Do they result in more used needles being carelessly discarded in the community? The panel takes a critical look at the available data on needle exchange and bleach distribution programs, reaches conclusions about their efficacy, and offers concrete recommendations for public policy to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS. The book includes current knowledge about the epidemiologies of HIV/AIDS and injection drug use; characteristics of needle exchange and bleach distribution programs and views on those programs from diverse community groups; and a discussion of laws designed to control possession of needles, their impact on needle sharing among injection drug users, and their implications for needle exchange programs.

This paper analyses current trends in prison drug use, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and HCV in prisoner populations and other information relevant to assessing the need for prison-based needle exchange programs in Canada. The first part presents background information on (1) the role of injection drug use (IDU) in the HIV and HCV epidemics, (2) prevalence of substance users and levels of substance use in Canadian prisons, (3) levels and patterns of injection drug use and needle sharing in Canadian prisons, (4) the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C infections among Canadian prisoners, (5) evidence of cases of disease transfer from sharing needles in prisons, and (6) existing harm reduction policies and programs in provincial and federal correctional systems in Canada. The next section reviews international experience with prison-based needle exchange programs, emphasizing evaluations of their effects on behaviour and their effectiveness in reducing harms among prisoners who use drugs by injection. The third part provides a review of the legal/constitutional and moral/ethical rationales for providing sterile needles to prisoners and a brief summary of the previous calls for piloting prison-based needle exchange programs in Canada. The last part discusses several possible courses of action available to the Canadian government as it considers its options on prison-based needle exchange programs.

This thesis examines the opportunities and challenges for implementing substance-related harm reduction techniques within Canadian federal prisons. The thesis investigates how harm reduction strategies in Canadian federal prisons differs from the implementation of harm reduction strategies in Canadian communities and focuses on the role of Prison Needle Exchange Programs and Canada's introduction of these programs in 2019. The central research question asks: what are the opportunities and challenges of implementing substance-related harm reduction strategies within Canada's federal prisons? In addition, how does implementing harm reduction strategies in Canadian communities differ from Canadian federal prisons? This thesis utilizes a realist review approach and a comparative contrast method to reveal the reasons why harm reduction programs struggle within the realm of the prison environment to reveal how countries can best uphold their international commitments to prisoner care.
