The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Estimates That the Rate of Substance Use Disorders (SUD) Among People Who Are Incarcerated May Be as High as 65%. Jails and Prisons Are Constitutionally Obligated to Provide Needed Health Care for Inmates in Their Custody. However, the Provision of Healthcare Within Carceral Systems Is Widely Variable. Short Lengths of Stay and Unpredictable Release Dates Create Significant Challenges as Jail Staff Attempt to Screen and Assess the Health Status of Individuals and Provide Treatment With Little to No Access to Their Medical History. in 2021, the Weekly Turnover Rate in Local Jails Nationwide Was 42%, With Individuals Spending an Estimated 33 Days in Custody Before Release. Drug or Alcohol Intoxication Deaths in Custody Quadrupled From 2000 (37 Deaths) to 2019 (184 Deaths). Drug or Alcohol Intoxication Has Accounted for an Increasing Share of Deaths in Local Jails Over Time. It Accounted for 15% of All Deaths in 2019 (the Latest Available Data). Without Treatment, Individuals Are at Increased Risk of an Overdose When They Leave Incarceration.
