To the best of my knowledge, we have never received a complaint specific to the absence of a prison-based needle exchange. We have received complaints around things like safer tattooing, increased availability of bleach, condoms, or other harm-reduction measures.

The questions around prison-based needle exchange come more from those who have expertise in public health and prevention.
