This briefing provides advocates with the evidence base and human rights framework for decarceration and the provision of harm reduction services in prisons.

It provides evidence that:

  • The first step in reducing harm associated with incarceration is to reduce reliance on incarceration itself.
  • Providing harm reduction is a human rights obligation.
  • Harm reduction services in prisons are an essential, effective and safe public health measure.
  • People in prison are severely underserved by harm reduction services.
