The creation of the Ambulant Consulting Cares Unit (UCSA), of Avignon’s prison in July 1995 caused a lot of mistrust within the supervisors of the prison and even within the care staff in charge of the penitentiairy establishment. In fact for most of them « Hospital in Prison » means much of rigour and restrictions. To help the Pharmacy in its mission, a half-time dispensing position and a weekely sitting position have been attributed. In order to improve the quality of the given cares, the Pharmacy has been engaged in the campaign against drug addiction, and prevention of disease policy. The analysis of the prescriptions realised during the two years 1996 and 1997 has proven the result of such engagement.
