I don't have a link handy but it's around 15% of the total prison population who are in for drug offences.

- iguy 6y agoThanks! So between 10 & 20% are in for drugs -- the lower figure if I try to exclude trafficking (although roughly, as they don't always break it down). And this means "in for nothing harder than drugs" since they are counting by the worst conviction.
