Published 1991. 5 pages.

Indications point to a strong movement to the requirement of smoke-free jails. This can be seen in: the increasing number of jails instituting no-smoking policies; formal positions adopted by professional corrections associations; and recent legal decisions. No-smoking jails base their implementation upon the following reasons: health, safety and security, maintenance, insurance rates, and liability. Eight strategies for successful implementation and six advantages in addition to a more healthful environment are noted. Few problems have been experienced. Accession Number: 015435
