Another review of prison-based needle exchange programs published.
In volume 8, issue 1 of the Review, we reported on the publication of a review of prison-based syringe-exchange programs (PSEPs) that concluded that such programs "are feasible and do provide benefit in the reduction of risk behaviour and the transmission of blood-borne infection without any unintended negative consequences." Another, more comprehensive review was recently published, confirming once again that PSEPs have been successful where they have been introduced.
