drug offenders

Narcotics violation convicts

Drug offenders are people convicted of crimes related to illegal drugs—possession, distribution, manufacturing, or trafficking.

The term appears frequently in debates about criminal justice reform and sentencing policy: Nonviolent drug offenders make up a significant portion of the prison population.

It often carries an implicit argument about whether such crimes warrant incarceration.
