Subutex:Suboxone use by prison inmates

HMP and NOMS North East Area have commissioned a booklet following work with Lifeline Project to address the problems related to Subutex use by inmates. The release of the booklet follows a controversial Channel 4 Newsnight item and an article in Druglink Magazine, which highlighted the need for coherent information and practices with inmates.

Lifeline and HMP Officers discuss the production of the booklet in the clip below:
