Drugs are thrown to inmates over the wall

In recent months officers have intercepted more than �100,000 worth of drugs thrown over the jail's walls.

Governor Cathy James says dealers make more money by selling drugs to inmates than people on the street.

She believes the drug problems have caused an increase in bullying and intimidation within the prison.

To that end, the prison has instituted an Anti-Social Behaviour program which runs alongside ongoing drugs rehabilitation programs.

Ms James explained: "The problem is that when drugs are intercepted, there is usually violence to follow, but we are beating the violence."

Drugs are still entering the prison according to Ms James, through a variety of means: "They come in through body orifices, visitors and so on. We've even had a crossbow bolt fired at a window attached to invisible fishing line. At night, drugs were transported over the line to prisoners inside."
