Abstract With the War on Drugs came a punitive approach to drug use and addiction, which has resulted in a large increase in the prison population, specifically for those who use drugs. The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the distinct impacts this approach has had on those who commit crime and also have a substance use dependence. The analysis is based on 32 semi-structured life event narratives of individuals with substance use histories originally released from prison in the early 1990's and re-interviewed in 2010. The interview narratives revealed the nuanced impact of collateral consequences that affect individuals who have both a criminal record and an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. These consequences impacted not only their ability to reintegrate successfully into the community after prison, but also limited their recovery efforts. The implications of these findings include advancing alternatives to incarceration and expanding support services, enhancing harm reduction policies, and promoting diversion options for individuals committing crimes who portray chronic addiction.

附带后果的扩展：对恢复过程的影响

摘要随着毒品战争的到来，对毒品使用和成瘾采取了惩罚性的方法，这导致监狱人口特别是吸毒者的大量增加。本文的目的是阐明这种方法对犯罪者和依赖毒品使用者的影响。该分析基于具有毒品使用历史的个人的32个半结构化生活事件叙事，这些叙事最初于1990年代初从监狱释放，并于2010年重新接受采访。访谈叙事揭示了附带后果的细微影响，这些后果影响了具有以下特征的个人：犯罪记录和对毒品和/或酒精的依赖。这些后果不仅影响了他们入狱后重新融入社区的能力，但也限制了他们的恢复工作。这些调查结果的含义包括：推进监禁替代方案，扩大支持服务范围；加强减害政策；为犯有长期成瘾罪行的个人提供转移性选择。
