The largest increase in percentage of substance-involved inmates was in the jail population, with nearly 85% reporting substance abuse problems, according to the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (2010). This reflects the high prevalence of substance abuse issues among those who are detained in jails, often for shorter terms or while awaiting trial, compared to those in prison, on probation, or on parole.
