The main goal is to describe the experience of serving a sentence drug-related prisoners. The method of data collection and analysis is grounded theory and qualitative analysis of interviews (biographical interviews). The results of the research were compared with the analysis of specialized literature on the topic. Results and discussion: The work is divided into 3 periods of time - life before imprisonment, whose events determined drug use and criminality, imprisonment as an environment of phenomenon of imprisonment and life after imprisonment as a period of returning to society. Conclusions: During the course of life, Contacts got into very risky situations that they were unable to solve in a constructive way. Drug use and crime were/ are the solution to these difficult life events. Increased strictness of rules in prisons does not guarantee a reduction in the threat of recidivism. The experience of imprisonment in itself makes it difficult to adapt to life in freedom. Keywords: Drug user, drug career, imprisonment
