Abstract
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is overrepresented in prison populations globally. Although pharmacological treatment has generally been demonstrated to be an effective tool for managing ADHD symptoms in the general population, it remains controversial in the prison context. This is primarily due to concerns about the diversion and abuse of medication. To evaluate the impact of pharmacological ADHD treatment for adults who are or have been in prison, a narrative literature review was completed and seven international studies were identified. Further research into the use of stimulant medication in prisons, particularly within the Australian context, is recommended.
