[Barman]

An estimated £100m worth of drugs are being traded in prisons each year, an ex-prison service worker has said.

Former National Offender Management Service drug treatment head Huseyin Djemil said the Prison Service had no idea of the size of the drugs market.

This is a story guaranteed to boil my piss! 

If they can’t stop inmates selling drugs to each other inside what is the point of the whole thing? 
No doubt some bizarre ‘human rights’ restriction prevents people being searched thoroughly when they visit. Complete farce…

Why aren't the government taxing this money?

Prisoners want to use drugs in prison, fine by me but on one condition. That we supply the drugs they are taking. After all there are stll drugs companies looking for gunea pigs.
