Drug use and impulsivity are associated with criminal behavior. Objective: to determine the effect of BIS / BAS systems and impulsiveness on drug consumption in people deprived of liberty. Sample: 175 people deprived of liberty in a medium-security prison in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Method: Quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional research. Instruments: BIS / BAS scales, impulsivity and express questionnaire for sociodemographic variables. Results: of the sample, the mean age was 36, SD = 9, marital status: 35.4 singles and 27.7% cohabitation. Schooling: 50.3 primary education and 24.6% middle school. 68% reported drug use before entering prison. Study variables explain 23.5% of the variance of drug use in people deprived of liberty. People who experienced violence in childhood (OR = 4.9) and with impulsive self-concept (OR = 5.09) have a higher risk of drug use. The effect of the BIS system on drug consumption in people deprived of liberty is ruled out.

Palabras llave : Impulsivity; BIS/BAS systems; drug use; jail; prisoner.
