Abstract
We first reported on a needle-distribution pilot project undertaken in two prisons in Lower Saxony, a state in Northern Germany, in 1997. Scientific evaluation of the project has now shown what scientific evaluation of such projects in Switzerland had also shown--that needle exchange programs can be successfully implemented in prisons.
