This inventory identifies a broad variety of alternatives to incarceration that:

• Have been adopted over the past few years in countries from around the world
• Have shown promise in reducing incarceration
• Compatible with international drug conventions
• Are respectful of human rights
• Have a proportional approach that may have a positive impact on populations in conditions of vulnerability.

This inventory profiles the variety of alternatives and shows that Member States employ a broad range of policy options to provide tailored responses limiting the use of incarceration for those who commit drug-related offenses. This resource is not intended to rank alternatives from best to worst; instead, it operates under the assumption that the best approach for Member States may be to develop several alternatives, adapted to meet their particular context and the variety of crimes that they must confront. In this way, the inventory seeks to highlight opportunities offered by these experiences, acknowledging some of the difficulties in their implementation.
