How Come

[joeluke]

they can detect traces of pork in halal meat served to prisoners yet miss all the drugs, mobile phones etc which are smuggled in?

[excelsior-1]

an excellent question

it does seem to be very odd

[NOX]

Well clearly they don't otherwise you wouldn't KNOW any drugs, mobile phones etc were smuggled in, DUH.

This is meat used generally throughout the prison system by particular suppliers though, you can't compare the two.

[Orderlimit]

Ridiculous aint it

[silka]

Good question

[boxtops]

They're analysing the food with DNA checks though, not actually in the prison (surely?)

I liked a story I read recently where someone had got into a secure area at an airport and stowed away. Someone remarked that if he had had a bottle of water on him they would have got him.

[Iluvspikey]

Very good question joe!

[DaisyNonna]

The prisoners don't complain about the drugs and mobiles.

[Orderlimit]

How is it all getting in then Nox????

[NOX]

I think you missed the point of my slightly tongue in cheek post.
My point was if all the drugs, mobiles etc were going undetected , how would you even know there were any? They aren't. Most thing are detected was my point. It's very hard to get things in and out of prison unless there is an element of co-operation (which there often is) and you can never have 1005 sucess rate because people are devious obvously.
I thought the quesiton was so banal to be honest that I certianly wasn't going to dignify it with an answer attempting to explain things to joeluke, there really isn't any point.

nox 'Most thing are detected was my point'

If most things are detected I guess prisoners are popping out of prison to buy their drugs and mobiles are they?

In an interview with the Mail on Sunday, Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, said it was unacceptable that those serving in some private prisons were able to enjoy satellite television and other perks beyond the budgets of many working families.

Mr Grayling is considering a range of measures to make life in Britain's prisons less comfortable for criminals as part of an ongoing review expected to report in late spring.
