DESCRIPTION:Willing Anonymous HIV Salivary (WASH) surveillance studies in 
 Scottish prisons changed the focus on drugs in prisons - not always for th
 e better. Barred from work in Scottish prisons\, we turned to powerful rec
 ord-linkage studies to quantify drugs-related deaths soon after prison-rel
 ease (and how to reduce them)\; reveal that female injectors&#39\;  risk o
 f drugs-related death was half that of male injectors\; but that the femal
 e advantage narrowed with age\; and is not evident for methadone-specific 
 deaths. Explanations for these strong\, validated empirical findings are t
 he next step.
