In England and Wales, a huge amount of drugs being smuggled into prisons are “unstable” the system and obstructing efforts to prevent crime again, a guards have warned.
According to the Chief Inspector of the annual reports of the jails, the jails are being targeted by criminal gangs using drones to fly opposite to sell bored prisoners kept under bored conditions.
Charlie Taylor wrote, “This was in many prisons, there were uncontrolled levels of criminality that were hard-presh and often inexperienced employees.”
Jail minister Lord Timpson said that the report showed “the measure of the inherited crisis” and the government was working to end “anarchy”.
The Kaming Report published on Tuesday found that congestion and staff shortage were contributing to the lack of purposeful activities for prisoners, which would help their rehabilitation to capture themselves to drugs to drugs.
Both employees and prisoners have been saying for many years that the drugs are being reduced to keep them out of jails.
A survey of 5,431 prisoners found that 39% said that drugs were easy to acquire, while 30% of random drug testing positively returned.
In a prison, HMP Hindle, this rate was almost double.
A inspection by HMP Bedford found that random drug testing was not conducted despite being “significant threat to safety” for 12 months.
Drugs are smuggled into jails by visitors or employees, thrown on fans or flown to use drones.
A prisoner, serving time for a violent crime, told the BBC that it was “super easy” to receive drugs inside.
Speaking from his cell on an illegal phone, he said: “If you want masala [synthetic cannabis] Or weeds or something strong, you can get it in a shock. Everyone inside knows who has found something. You can smell it in wings.
“Boredom is very high and sometimes you just want something to take off your mind so that you become high.”
The report stated that the drone was being used to deliver HMP Manchester and Long Lartin regularly – which are “some of the country’s most dangerous men in the country, including terrorist and organized crime owners”.
It said that physical safety measures were inadequate, while in HMP Manchester “inexperienced employees were being manipulated by prisoners or simply being ignored”.
Mr. Taylor said that failure to deal with these issues presented a threat to national security.
“The challenge for prison service will have to work closely with the police and security services to manage prisoners associated with organized crime,” said Mr. Taylor.
“This is a threat that the government needs to take seriously at the highest level.”
The report also found this:
- Prisoner had been locking in cells for a long time, with limited opportunities to spend time in fresh air or participate in recreational activities
- Prisoners missed other activities in full -time work or education
- Prisoners quickly released to reduce congestion The “already deflation” was placed a big burden on probation units
- Population is growing “faster than new [prison] The blanks can be provided “
Lord Timpson stated that the report highlighted “unacceptable pressures faced by our hardworking employees”.
Addressing the congestion issue, he said that the government was building 14,000 additional places, with 2,400 already distributed, and “to ensure that we do not get out of space”.
He said that the government had promised £ 40M to improve the security of the prison, including CCTV, new windows and floodlighting.
The jail service is also appointing an X-ray body scanner and is detecting dogs to compete with smuggling.
Government expects Improvement for punishment Releasing the locations of the prison will allow more prisoners to be released quickly.
But drugs in jail are not new, and as long as there is a demand, new ways are likely to be brought to them.
Drug dealers and addicts are doing time, and a constant hunger for making cash, drugs is something that will continue to have an unmistakable temptation for inside people.
