Abstract
Describes the author’s visit to The Netherlands while in receipt of a Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship to study drug education. Reports on a visit of a group of 12‐year‐old schoolchildren to a remand prison in Amsterdam, where they met a heroin addict. This scheme is run by the Amsterdam police authorities as part of their drug education programme. Concludes that, although the scheme is unusual, it could make a valuable contribution to a health education programme.
