"The connection between mental illness and the use of cannabis and amphetamines has been exposed by a World Health Organisation report that finds almost 50 per cent of prisoners entering South Australia's penal system had both drug and mental health problems. Results from the study, obtained by The Australian, show that 67 per cent of the 250 prisoners questioned at Yatala Labour prison, Adelaide Remand Centre and Adelaide's Women's Prison had used cannabis in the previous three months and 52per cent had used amphetamines. Of the prisoners interviewed, 117 - or 47 per cent - revealed they had a mental health disorder and a drug problem, with depression the most common illness.
They also reported having suffered anxiety and panic attacks and having harmed themselves."
