4. Illegal Highs

Highly-addictive, relatively cheap and easy to smuggle, Spice is running rampage through Britain’s prisons.

And Spice is the reason Amy finds Joe zombie-like in his cell, eyes rolled back in his head.

The reason, he’s in debt with other prisoners.

The reason he’s asking her to smuggle something in for him. Again.
