\n\nThree-quarters of people in prison have a history of hazardous use of
alcohol and other drugs (AoD)\, yet there is a paucity of research into Ao
D use and prison-based treatment. This lack of prison-based AoD research e
xists despite the enormous body of research conducted over many decades in
to problematic AoD use generally in Australia. The lack of existing knowle
dge has a disproportionately great impact on Aboriginal people because the
y are vastly over-represented in Australian prisons. Theoretically\, under
the principle of equivalence of care\, people in prison should receive he
alth care to the same standard as they could access in the community. Howe
ver\, this is may not always be the case.\n\nMichael is a Bardi person fro
m the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. Michael is a Wingara Mura Res
earch Fellow at Sydney University’s Centre of Research Excellence in Ind
igenous Health and Alcohol. His research focuses on improving alcohol and
drug treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men involved in t
he criminal justice system. Michael began his career in health in 1998 as
an Aboriginal Health Worker at the Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Serv
