Abstract

Despite the existence of ex ante alternatives to prevent drug addicts from entering prison, what happens to those who have already entered is uncertain. Ex post, alternatives such as the one granted by article 182 of the Spanish Prison Rules, allow serving sentence in an extrapenitentiary detoxification center such as a Therapeutic Community (TC). However, knowledge about who accesses them and about the granting of the article 182 is certainly scarce. Through the analysis of different indicators of the inmates who accessed the Projecte Home Catalunya TC between 2017 and 2021 and an interview with the director of this TC, it has been verified that the instrumentalization of the third grade allows the granting of the article to inmates with very diverse situations. However, it is still necessary to raise awareness of this alternative among prison professionals and facilitating the change of the article regulating the inmate situation once the treatment is completed, so that their legal situation does not hinder the success of the therapeutic process and reintegration. Since the results are restricted to a single TC, future research is also needed to ascertain if this is what happens in the rest of Catalonia and at national level.
