Schriftenreihe „Gesundheitsförderung im Justizvollzug“ Herausgegeben von H. Stöver, J. Jacob „Gesundheitsförderung zielt auf einen Prozess, allen Menschen ein höheres Maß an Selbstbestimmung über ihre Gesundheit zu ermögli- chen und sie damit zur Stärkung ihrer Gesundheit zu befähigen. Um ein angemessenes körperliches und seelisches Wohlbefinden zu erlan- gen, ihre Wünsche und Hoffnungen wahrnehmen und verwirklichen, sowie ihre Umwelt meistern bzw. sie verändern zu können“. Diese Gedanken leiten die Ottawa-Charta zur Gesundheitsförderung ein, die 1986 von einer internationalen Konferenz verabschiedet wurde. Ver- sucht man den Leitgedanken der Ottawa-Charta, die Stärkung der Selbstbestimmung über die Gesundheit, auf den Strafvollzug zu be- ziehen, stößt man schnell an Grenzen der Übertragbarkeit: Äußere Beschränkungen, Fremdbestimmungen, eingeschränkte Rechte prägen das Leben und die gesundheitliche Lage der Gefangenen. Mit der Schriftenreihe „Gesundheitsförderung im Justizvollzug“ wol- len wir Beiträge veröffentlichen, die innovative gesundheitspolitische Anregungen für den Justizvollzug geben und gesundheitsfördernde Praxisformen des Vollzugsalltags vorstellen. Außerhalb des Vollzugs bewährte Präventionsangebote und Versor- gungsstrukturen werden auf ihre Relevanz zur Verbesserung der ge- sundheitlichen Situation Inhaftierter hin überprüft und auf die Bedin- gungen des Justizvollzugs bezogen. Letztendlich kann nur eine größere Transparenz und Durchlässigkeit des Systems „Justizvollzug“ dazu beitragen, individuelle gesundheits- orientierte Potentiale Gefangener anzuregen und zu fördern.

The project has been conducted with five European partners between September 2003 and August 2004 and was funded by the AGIS 2003 programme of the European Commission (project number: JAI/2003/AGIS/191). The authors are responsible for all contents and findings presented in this publication. Acknowledgements This study made considerable demands on different groups of participants who provided us with the requested data described in this report. The respon- sible partners of the European research project are grateful to all European Ministries of Justice for participating in the prison service survey. We are also grateful to the numerous members of prison staff and authorities and to the drug services, which established contacts to female drug users in prison and provided necessary information. Last not least, we are particularly grateful to the female drug users who agreed to be interviewed about their history of drug use and imprisonments and their experiences with drug services.
