Résumé :
This thematic inspection examined drug misuse in prisons. Tackling drug misuse is a key priority for the Prison Service. Drug misuse in prisons damages the health of individual prisoners, undermines the security and safety of prisons, and hampers rehabilitation. Prisoners are more likely than the general population to have histories of drug misuse, and in some cases this misuse continues in prison. When work on this inspection began, there had been a recognised shift away from the use of opiates and Class A drugs towards the misuse of medication in prisons. During the course of this work, patterns of substance misuse in prison changed again and the use of new psychoactive substances (NPS), and in particular synthetic cannabis, has emerged as a major problem. This thematic inspection aimed to examine changing patterns of substance misuse in adult prisons, assess the effectiveness of current policy and operational responses, and suggest how they might be improved.
