Addiction rate high among prisoners
Some 60% of people in Dutch prisons are addicted to drugs, alcohol, gambling, or a combination of all three, according to justice ministry research.
Researchers questioned 600 prisoners about their lifestyles in the year before they went to jail.
They did not investigate whether drugs and alcohol were widely available in jail.
