Prison Transformed into Drug Hub by Drone Smuggling
A recent inspection report reveals that HMP Garth in Lancashire has become a significant drug trafficking point, likened to an ‘airport’ due to the influx of smuggling drones. Prisoners are reportedly modifying cell windows and using brooms to retrieve drugs as violence spikes, with a recorded 45% increase in such incidents. The Chief Inspector of Prisons has called for urgent measures to enhance security and stem drug flow, while the Ministry of Justice acknowledges the crisis and emphasizes their zero-tolerance policy towards drug trafficking and violence.
